154 Dyckman Street, Manhattan, NY 10040

The five-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building at 154 Dyckman Street in Inwood, owned by John Pavon, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past few years, with four documented complaints about lack of heat/hot water in both 2024 and 2025, and three similar incidents between 2021 and 2022. The building's maintenance history reveals multiple concerns, including a heavy water leak and plumbing issues in 2021, as well as several Appliance and Flooring complaints in 2019. In terms of safety compliance, multiple violations were recorded during a July 2021 inspection, including issues with garbage receptacles, heating system access, and required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms, though most of these violations appear to be documentation-related rather than structural issues.

The building's more recent history shows improved pest management, with the most recent bedbug report (2024) showing no infested units, counters to previous years' issues. While there have been previous rodent issues in 2016 requiring multiple bait applications, these appear to have been resolved. The property has also faced some compliance challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, with violations recorded for vaccine mandate non-compliance and face covering violations in late 2021.

Several housing maintenance code violations remain open as of 2023, primarily relating to safety notice postings, though an inspection showed the 2023 annual bedbug report was filed appropriately. Recent permit activity in 2019 indicates various repair and maintenance work was authorized, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records provided. The building's age (constructed in 1916) and history of service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems infrastructure such as heating and water services, which have been a recurring source of tenant complaints.
