602 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The six-story, 40-unit New Law Tenement at 602 West 137th Street in Hamilton Heights, built in 1926 and currently owned by Stuart Goldstein, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between January and April 2025, the building faced multiple plumbing problems, including issues with water supply, various fixtures (bathtubs, sinks, and showers), and heavy water leaks, with some violations being issued for the January water leak. Additionally, there have been sanitation concerns, with an open garbage/recycling storage complaint as of April 2025, and multiple rat activity inspections showing persistent pest control challenges throughout 2023-2025.
The building underwent a significant tenant inspection in 2024, revealing multiple violations in Apartment 36 including insect infestation (roaches), defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, maintenance issues with kitchen fixtures, and violations related to building materials. The property's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about its operation and safety between 2018-2024, including instances of requiring emergency repairs and missed inspections. Building systems maintenance appears to be an ongoing challenge, as demonstrated by recurring complaints about various appliances and plumbing systems throughout 2025, though many of these issues were resolved after inspection.
The building's management has kept up with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units in the last six reporting periods from 2019-2024. Recent health department involvement was noted in June 2025 regarding a food poisoning complaint that was determined to be isolated. While there have been numerous violations and service requests, the majority have been resolved through proper channels, though some recent plumbing and sanitation issues remain open as of mid-2025.
