315 West 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 9-story New Law Tenement building at 315 West 102nd Street, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Rafael Herrerajr, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, particularly in its 9th floor apartment (Unit 9B). As of mid-2025, there are multiple open violations including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and radiator-related plumbing issues. Recent 311 service requests from 2025 indicate concerns with doors/windows, mold, and water supply issues, though inspections found these conditions did not violate housing laws.

The building has maintained a 100% failure rate for bedbug and rodent inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 showing a "passed" result. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations remain active, including issues with window counterbalances, water fixtures, and a self-closing door. The building has experienced recurring issues with system reliability and safety features, including multiple complaints about elevator service (though inspections found no violations), and concerns about building vibration/shaking in July 2024.

A series of plumbing and safety-related violations have been documented, particularly in 2024-2025, including problems with gas lines, electrical wiring, and various plumbing fixtures. The building has active Environmental Control Board violations dating back to 2022-2024, including issues with mold, unsafe conditions during facade work, and various maintenance violations in Unit 9B. Though recent inspections related to pests (both insects and rodents) have generally passed, there remains a pattern of maintenance and safety violations that suggests ongoing building infrastructure challenges.
