73 Seaman Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

73 Seaman Avenue is a 5-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building located in Inwood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Paul Steinberg. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant and current concern being an open door complaint since May 2025. There has been an ongoing rodent infestation problem, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded throughout 2024-2025 showing consistent rat activity, most recently in June 2025.

The building's systems and facilities have shown various maintenance needs, including heat and hot water issues (April 2024), an unresponsive refrigerator complaint (January 2025), and multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (August 2024). The property has documented violations from 2021 related to safety equipment in Apartment 2A, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were certified as corrected. An inspection in 2018 revealed multiple issues in Apartment 2C regarding floor repairs and door self-closing mechanisms, which were also subsequently addressed.

The building’s compliance history includes a 2019 ECB violation for occupancy issues, though this was resolved with a $625 penalty. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight years, from 2018 to the present. Recent rodent control efforts have been documented through multiple bait applications and inspections in 2024-2025, indicating ongoing pest management attempts by the building management.
