The 82-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 271 Hawthorne Street, owned by 285 Hawthorne Realty LLC, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent months. Between June 2025 and July 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heating and hot water problems affecting the entire building, unverified access issues during inspections, various unsanitary conditions including garbage storage and pest infestations, and water leak problems with one instance being classified as "heavy flow" that resulted in violations.
The building has also faced historical concerns with elevator service continuity, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2020-2021 regarding single device service and safety features. In 2024, specific apartment violations were documented in units 302 and 309, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and various repair needs such as plaster damage and plumbing concerns. The property has undergone several inspections and permits for various maintenance and repair work, with records showing compliance with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2022, though the building experienced multiple rat activity inspections in 2018-2019.
Notably, the building's history includes electrical system violations from 2018 that prompted penalties for unsafe electrical equipment and inadequate circuit protection.

Despite these numerous violations and complaints, many have been resolved or closed through proper procedures, though some recent complaints remain with inspections showing no housing law violations.
