1898 Harrison Avenue is a 6-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Emrush Zeqaj and located in the Morris Heights neighborhood. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in January 2025, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections. More recently, in March 2025, there are two open emergency complaints regarding heavy water leaks.

The building has documented safety concerns, including an elevator service complaint recorded in January 2025 (active) and a prominent issue in late 2024 with Apartment 2A showing multiple violations including lack of gas, electric supply issues, and missing safety devices (though some violations were subsequently closed). Apartment 2F has open maintenance issues from August 2024 regarding roof leaks and defective plaster surfaces. The building's maintenance history reveals several structural and safety concerns, including a 2024 bedbug infestation (though reported as eradicated) and periodic rodent inspections with varying results between 2017 and 2025.

The building has faced multiple regulatory inspections and violations since 2018, including concerns about facade condition, elevator service, and safety device compliance. Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2020 indicate past issues with building maintenance and safety equipment. The property underwent several permit issuances between 2019 and 2023 for various repairs and maintenance work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building conditions. The consistent pattern of heat/water issues and various open violations suggests persistent maintenance challenges within the building.
