511 West 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 30-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 511 West 122nd Street, built in 1907 and currently owned by Justin Marks, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in November 2023, the building faced multiple simultaneous problems including water leaks (heavy flow), electrical lighting issues, mold, and paint/plaster concerns affecting both ceilings and walls. These complaints were classified as either emergency or non-emergency by Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued.
The building's history shows recurring issues with building maintenance compliance, including three consecutive years (2022-2024) of failed annual bedbug report filings, though subsequent reports indicate zero infested units. Significant structural concerns were identified in 2021 regarding facade maintenance, with active violations issued for defective conditions including open mortar joints and cracks in terracotta on the 4th-6th floors, resulting in penalties totaling $18,750. The building has active violations related to failure to file critical safety inspections and reports, including the FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report.
While rodent inspections since 2021 show mixed results, with multiple instances of rat activity reported in 2021 and December 2023, recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The elevator system experienced issues in 2021, leading to a violation for unsafe conditions and a follow-up administrative process. The property is currently under scrutiny for Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections, with recent inspections showing no violations warranting enforcement action.
