530 West 207th Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

The 80-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 530 West 207th Street, owned by Luis Ventura, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning heating systems and electrical infrastructure. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with at least four separate incidents between January and February, and an open electrical wiring complaint as of April 2025.

The building has a documented history of elevator service problems, with multiple violations and service requests regarding single device operation and emergency communication systems between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent associated violation from November 2024 noting inoperative door zone restrictor and tripping hazards. Between 2023 and 2024, significant maintenance work was required to address lead paint hazards in Apartment 505, various electrical issues, and multiple heat/hot water complaints. The building's recent history also shows ongoing pest control challenges, with rodent activity detected in multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024, though the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed.

While there have been some safety concerns, such as an open Department of Health investigation regarding smoking in a prohibited area from June 2025, and multiple emergency heating system failures, many violations and complaints have been resolved through repairs or inspections. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past three years. Recent inspections and maintenance records show regular attempts to address building code violations, including door repairs, painting requirements, and electrical system maintenance, though some issues, such as the open electrical wiring complaint from April 2025, suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.
