607 West 113th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 23-unit, 8-story New Law Tenement building at 607 West 113th Street in Morningside Heights, owned by David Greenberg, has had several noteworthy maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning was a heat and hot water emergency reported in May 2023, for which HPD could not gain access to inspect the conditions. The building has also faced multiple facade-related violations, including a 2022 emergency work order for defective facade conditions on the west elevation involving open cracks and loose bricks at the top of the building, which remains an active violation as of 2025.

In 2022, the building received multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to facade maintenance and failure to submit required reports, resulting in penalties totaling $5,625. The building has documented periodic plumbing issues, with emergencies reported in both 2020 and 2023, though inspections did not result in violations. Bedbug reporting requirements have been met in recent filings, with no reported infestations in the past three cycles spanning from 2022 to 2024. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2017, including all recent inspections through 2025.

Two significant building systems issues were documented in 2018: a failure to maintain elevator service and a general maintenance complaint in November 2022. The building's heating system has shown recurring problems, with service requests in both 2020 and 2023, though these complaints were resolved through inspections. The building's violation history shows persistent compliance issues, particularly regarding facade maintenance and reporting requirements, with several active violations as of 2025 related to benchmarking reports and facade inspections. However, recent inspections for rodent control and bedbug reporting indicate improved management of these specific concerns.
