31 Arden Street, Manhattan, NY 10040

The 5-story New Law Tenement at 31 Arden Street in Inwood, owned by Josh Wiesenfeld, was built in 1915 and contains 15 residential units. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with three complaints in 2025 alone (February, March, and May), and these concerns were similarly documented in 2023 and 2020.

Notably, a water leak was reported in late 2023 that persisted into 2024, and more recently, there have been multiple emergency plumbing issues documented in June 2025, including problems with sinks, bathtubs/showers, and toilets. The building has also experienced unsanitary conditions, with reports of mold and pests in 2024 and 2025, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and corrections over the years, with specific violations noted in Apartment 4 (including water leak repairs and mold remediation) as of November 2024.

While the building has generally passed rodent inspections consistently since 2017, several maintenance issues have required attention, including electrical problems in 2024 and plumbing concerns in multiple units. The most recent service requests show a cluster of emergency maintenance needs in June 2025, including plumbing issues across several apartments and concerns with building access systems. Despite these challenges, the building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, indicating no documented infestations since 2020.
