605 West 114th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
The 63-unit, 9-story New Law Tenement building at 605 West 114th Street in Morningside Heights, built in 1912 and currently owned by Anupama Rao, has experienced several significant events impacting tenant comfort and safety. The building has faced recurring heating and hot water issues, with documented emergencies in February 2019 and November 2022 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these problems were reportedly resolved in each instance. More concerning are the multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and complaints from 2023-2025, including a May 2023 illegal conversion issue resulting in an OATH violation, and several complaints about work without permits, though inspections found no violations.
A notable safety concern emerged in 2020 regarding the cellar laundry room with four gas dryers, which led to multiple ECB violations totaling $7,500 in penalties related to unpermitted work and hazardous conditions, though these were later dismissed. Recent inspection records reveal generally good maintenance of the building, with successful rodent inspections passed between 2017-2025, though a failure was recorded in June 2020. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2018 through 2024.
While there have been several DOB and HPD complaints and violations over the years, many were resolved through proper channels, including multiple permits issued for emergency work between 2019-2021. The most recent complaints from 2023-2025 regarding elevator service, boiler issues, and tenant safety inspections resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings during inspections. A 2022 Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding building registration signage remains open as of the latest inspection dates.
