100 Cabrini Boulevard, Manhattan, NY 10033

The 49-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 100 Cabrini Boulevard in Washington Heights, owned by Chaim Schueid and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years. Between September 2024 and April 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, including several that required emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). A notable cluster of heating system problems was documented in February 2025, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

The building has also faced other significant maintenance challenges, including a period in 2019 when there were multiple violations related to an unauthorized laundry facility in the basement, including improper gas installations and electrical work, though these were subsequently resolved. The most recent concerns involve smoking in designated non-smoking areas, with complaints filed in February and March 2025. The building's record shows a pattern of heating system problems, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific heat issues.

Apartment 65 has been particularly noted for various maintenance issues, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2023 related to heat supply, roof leaks, and infrastructure problems. The building has undergone regular inspections for pest control, rodent activity, and safety compliance, with recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing, though there was one failed inspection in 2022. The elevator inspection in February 2025 found no violations, and a boiler-related complaint from May 2023 resulted in an Oath violation being served. While the building has had various maintenance and safety violations over the years, many have been promptly addressed and closed, including multiple earlier violations related to emergency reporting requirements that were dismissed in 2023.
