541 West 113th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 33-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 541 West 113th Street in Morningside Heights, owned by David Greenberg, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recent water-related problems, with three water leak complaints (one classified as a heavy flow and two as slow leaks) reported between November 2024 and November 2024, including one that resulted in violations and potential lead paint concerns in apartment 2D.

This apartment has also been the focus of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations as of November 2024, including issues with window guards, peeling paint, and water leak repairs. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, including a significant heat/hot water outage in November 2022 that affected both individual apartments and the entire building, though some inspections were unable to gain apartment access.

Additionally, there are ongoing concerns regarding the building's compliance with various inspection requirements, with active violations noted for failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2022-2023 and for not submitting the FISP Cycle 9A technical report in 2022. Historical inspection data shows consistent passing results for rodent inspections, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, though the building did receive multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2018-2024. While some improvements have been made, as evidenced by the closing of certain violations and complaints, the building continues to face ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that require attention.
