504 West 167th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

The five-story New Law Tenement building at 504 West 167th Street, owned by Sam Schreiber and built in 1924, currently contains 20 units and is located in the Washington Heights neighborhood. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, with multiple 311 service requests in July 2024 related to flooring/stairs, windows, and water leaks. Notably, there are outstanding violations from July 2024 in apartment 2C concerning mold, water leaks, damaged tiles, window issues, and door problems, though some violations from October 2024 relating to window guards and self-closing doors were certified as closed.

The building has a history of plumbing issues, with water leak complaints recorded in 2023 and 2024, and temperature control problems, with heating complaints in 2018 and 2022. While there were two pest-related violations in September 2018, indicating a brief unsanitary condition, the building has generally maintained a good rodent inspection record, passing all inspections since 2016. The property appears to have had minimal bedbug issues in recent years, with the most recent reports (2024) showing no infestations.

An egress complaint was filed in September 2024, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of intermittent plumbing and heating issues, particularly in the past five years, with the most significant ongoing concerns currently affecting apartment 2C. Despite these issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, suggesting effective pest management practices, and there have been no recent bedbug infestations reported. The property's violation resolution timeline indicates that while some issues are being addressed through inspections and certifications, others remain unresolved and may continue to impact resident comfort and safety.
