AI summary · updated June 2026

The 20-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 715 West 180th Street in Washington Heights, built in 1909 and currently owned by Sergio Kielmanowicz, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing current concerns include open violations regarding lead-based paint hazard control requirements in apartments 1, 3, and 23, as well as active investigations into rodent problems following recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 that indicated rat activity and required bait application. There are also ongoing compliance issues from 2024 related to lead paint documentation and infestation notifications.

The building has recorded multiple emergency complaints over the past few years, including issues with mold (most recently in April 2024), heat/hot water problems (October 2022), and safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (November 2021). Several maintenance issues have emerged consistently, including water leaks, paint/plaster problems, and both unsanitary conditions and rodent infestations. While many prior complaints were investigated and closed without violations being issued, the building's historical data indicates persistent challenges with building maintenance and timely record-keeping, as evidenced by the recent violation for failure to file 2023 external low-pressure inspection records with the Department of Buildings. On a positive note, all six recent bedbug infestation reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate zero affected units, suggesting effective pest management in this area.
