445 West 125th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 22-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 445 West 125th Street in Harlem, owned by Jonathan Ramirez, has experienced ongoing heat and hot water system challenges throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between January and March 2025, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. In early 2025, HPD inspections found inadequate access to verify the conditions in most cases, though one January inspection did result in violations.
The building has also faced various maintenance issues, including a December 2024 emergency involving plumbing (bathtub/shower), slow water leaks, flooring problems, and electrical appliance concerns. Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 include mold in apartment 4D's bathroom, a problematic key-operated lock on a fire escape window, and various fire safety concerns such as defective fire door issues and compromised fire retardant materials in public areas. The building's history shows consistent concerns regarding building systems and maintenance.
A 2023 violation regarding failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection records was ultimately dismissed. While there were no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), the property has experienced periodic rodent activity, with most recent inspections in 2024 indicating rat activity, though earlier inspections in 2023-2024 had passed. The building's infrastructure appears to be aging, as evidenced by the recurring heat and hot water issues, with ownership transition concerns noted as the building changes from "Property Management" to "Owner Occupied" status in the records.
