457 West 125th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 16-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 457 West 125th Street in Harlem, built in 1901 and currently owned by Hope Marra, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open complaint from February 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, which follows a pattern of similar complaints in 2024. The building has faced recurring problems with rat activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025, though the most recent June 2025 inspection passed.
Recent inspection records from November 2024 reveal multiple open violations in apartment 5A, including issues with a bathtub, kitchen countertop, and plumbing, while apartment 1A has open violations concerning water leaks and plaster surfaces. There were also significant egress and fire safety concerns in 2024, with active ECB violations regarding fire escape disrepair and missing/loose treads on the 3rd/4th floor levels, resulting in penalties. The building experienced emergency heat/hot water issues in December 2024 that were reportedly resolved, and had multiple instances of unsanitary conditions including sewage problems in June 2024.
The Department of Buildings (DOB) records from 2023-2024 show various construction and safety-related complaints, including blocked egress points and structural monitoring, though most were closed with no violations found. These recent issues follow a relatively clear history of the building being free from bedbug infestations, as confirmed by quarterly reporting from 2020 through 2025. The building's management has obtained multiple permits for work between 2018 and 2020, suggesting some ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, though the persistence of basic maintenance issues indicates challenges in addressing resident concerns. The presence of both active and recent violations, particularly regarding egress and fire safety, alongside recurring pest issues, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety.
