This three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building in Sunnyside, owned by Thomas Anagnostopoulos, has a concerning history of maintenance issues that extends to the present day. Most notably, as of March 2025, there is an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, and multiple Bedbug Report violations remain open from 2021 through 2024. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with documented complaints in both 2018 and 2025.

The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges over the years, including multiple violations for unaddressed infrastructure issues. In 2018, violations were documented for faulty lighting, door problems, and flooring concerns, all of which were marked as emergency situations. More recent issues from 2019 include violations related to wall conditions in Apartment 3F, though some complaints from that year were resolved without violations being issued.

The building's maintenance record shows ongoing compliance issues, particularly related to necessary annual inspections. As of September 2024, there are multiple active violations regarding the failure to file annual External Low Pressure Inspection reports from 2019 through 2023, indicating potential safety equipment maintenance neglect. The cumulative history of violations and open complaints suggests ongoing challenges in building maintenance and resident conditions. While some issues have been addressed over time, such as the resolution of certain 2019 complaints, many violations remain open, and new complaints, such as the 2025 pest-related issue, continue to arise.
