134 West 143rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 20-unit, 6-story New Law tenement building at 134 West 143rd Street, owned by Genevieve Outlaw and constructed in 1915, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent heat and hot water problems, including emergency complaints in December 2021 and February 2020 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
The building has also faced multiple electrical system concerns, with violations and complaints regarding unauthorized electrical work documented in 2024, including improper installations and unpermitted branch circuit wiring throughout. Recent inspections have revealed ongoing rat activity, with multiple compliance inspections showing similar results throughout 2024 and 2025.
The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of violations related to mandatory reporting requirements, including an open bedbug reporting violation from April 2024 and previous violations from 2021-2023 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports. Multiple Department of Buildings investigations in 2024 identified safety concerns, including the presence of razor wire on the perimeter fence blocking fire escape exits and excessive combustible storage in the gas meter room, though most violations have since been resolved or dismissed. The building has also faced challenges with meeting energy efficiency requirements, with several violations for failing to display energy scores and submit benchmarking reports, though recent records indicate these violations were dismissed.
