The 72-unit, 6-story New Law tenement building at 1325 Lafayette Avenue in Hunts Point, owned by Kristina Hosch and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues in recent months. From April 1 to May 23, 2025, there were eleven documented complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with multiple instances of HPD responding to complaints of no heat or hot water, though in many cases heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspections could be completed. Additionally, there were two plumbing-related complaints regarding water supply issues in April and May 2025. The building has a documented history of elevator service problems, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2025 regarding single device service and no alternate service, continuing with an active complaint as of June 2025.
Environmental concerns were also recorded, particularly in late 2024, including rat activity and moisture problems. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were identified in late 2024, including issues with the fire escape, self-closing doors, and a water leak in Apartment 2J. The building's recent history shows notable improvements in bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the last two reporting periods (2023-2024). The property has undergone various inspections and received several repair orders, with most violations being marked as resolved.
In 2024, significant elevator-related violations resulted in penalties, though the amounts were recorded as $0.00 or resolved. The building's maintenance record shows ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly regarding elevator service and heating/hot water consistency, though many recent inspection issues have been addressed. A series of rodent inspections in 2024 indicated fluctuations in rodent activity, with multiple bait applications noted. The most recent inspection from March 2025 showed passing results for rodent control, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's permit history from 2018-2019 shows various maintenance and improvement work being authorized, including multiple permits issued for work under job number 220546096.
