140 Claremont Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
140 Claremont Avenue, a 6-story, 61-unit New Law tenement built in 1905 and currently owned by Juan Lainez, has experienced notable ongoing maintenance issues in 2025, particularly involving plumbing systems. As of July 2025, there are open complaints regarding bathtub/shower and basin/sink plumbing issues, with multiple plumbing-related complaints documented throughout the year, including problems with toilets, water leaks, and bathroom fixtures.
A concerning pattern has emerged, with multiple complaints in 2025 suggesting persistent plumbing infrastructure challenges. The building faced heat and hot water issues earlier in 2025, though some of these complaints were resolved or confirmed corrected during inspections. The property has undergone several regulatory inspections and faced various compliance issues, including two Environmental Control Board violations in October 2023 regarding tenant safety requirements, with associated penalties that were later resolved.
A comprehensive inspection of unit 1K in 2021 revealed multiple violations requiring correction, including issues with smoke detectors, kitchen appliances, cabinet conditions, and bathroom fixtures, though these were subsequently addressed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no recorded bedbug infestations in recent filings, and has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2019. While the property has shown compliance with many housing maintenance requirements, the recurring nature of plumbing-related complaints in 2025 suggests an ongoing infrastructure challenge that may affect resident comfort.
