180 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 42-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 180 Edgecombe Avenue in Harlem, owned by Herminio Torres, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly related to sanitary conditions. The building, dating from 1920, has ongoing issues with pests, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints (nine documented in 2025 alone, with several resulting in violations) and rodent inspection failures throughout 2023-2025, showing consistent rat activity. There are also significant concerns about mold and water damage, particularly in the currently open violations associated with apartment 6G, which includes issues with broken plaster surfaces and an active infestation of roaches.
The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single device service and safety features, though inspections in 2023 and 2024 found no violations warranting action. Recent maintenance history shows regular tenant complaints about heat/hot water systems (both building-wide and individual apartments), electrical issues, and various structural problems. The building has had bedbug infestations in past years, though the most recent 2024-2025 reporting shows no active cases.
The property has experienced multiple sanitary violations over time, with some required repairs being classified as “emergency” situations, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections and corrections, several violations remain open as of mid-2025. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining basic living conditions, with particular attention needed to address recurrent pest problems and building maintenance issues.
