110 West 144th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 15-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 110 West 144th Street in Harlem, owned by Christina Pimentel and constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent heating system issues throughout 2025. The building has been subject to multiple heat and hot water complaints, with eight separate complaints filed between December 2024 and February 2025, all indicating problems with the entire building's heating system.

These complaints often couldn't be verified by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues, though one December complaint was noted as resolved. The building has also dealt with rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 showing rat activity on multiple occasions, though the most recent April 2025 inspection passed compliance. Previous violations from late 2022-early 2023 included heating and hot water problems in apartment 5C, as well as various maintenance issues in apartment 2E, including water leaks and a defective intercom system.

The building received citations in September 2023 for failing to post required smoke detector and inspection certificate notices near mailboxes, and for not providing sufficient garbage receptacles. Despite these challenges, the property shows some improvements in 2024-2025, including passing recent rodent inspections and maintaining a bedbug-free status over multiple reporting periods. The Department of Buildings records indicate several permit issuances for work at the property between 2018-2019, though specific details of the work performed are not included in the available data.
