124 Ft George Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040
The 79-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 124 Ft George Avenue, owned by Florence Edelstein and constructed in 1925, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concentration of problems related to plumbing systems. Between January and July 2025, there were multiple complaints and emergencies involving radiators, steam pipes, and water leaks, including an emergency water leak with heavy flow that persisted from December 2024 to July 2025 and several radiator-related emergencies. The building has also faced challenges with heating systems, though inspections were frequently unable to gain access for verification.
A significant cluster of complaints in early 2025 involved issues with floors, stairs, wall conditions, and pest control, particularly an unsanitary condition related to pests reported in January 2025. The property has some regulatory concerns as evidenced by several open violations regarding energy efficiency scores and benchmarking reports, though these May 2019 and December 2021 violations appear to be procedural in nature. The building's history reveals ongoing structural and maintenance challenges, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in 2024-2025 and prior issues with rodent infestations in 12A documented in July 2024, along with various violations in 2024 concerning water damage, floor issues, and pest control.
Recent heating and plumbing problems persist, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspection attempts in early 2025 that were unable to complete inspections due to access issues. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years. While there have been several building shaking/structural stability complaints filed in 2024, inspections did not find violations warranting concern. The building's management has generally closed out violations and service requests when access was granted, though there have been repeated issues requiring multiple inspection attempts and complaints about inadequate responses to maintenance requests.
