201 East 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The 31-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 201 East 165th Street in Concourse Village, owned by Sandra Erickson, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with eight emergency complaints between October 2023 and February 2025, including multiple building-wide and apartment-specific incidents. The building had a significant boiler-related violation in April 2023, with an unregistered Raypak hot water boiler that incurred a $625 penalty, though this was later resolved.

Several infrastructure and safety concerns were documented in 2024, including locked heating system access, fire door maintenance issues, and required repairs to self-closing doors in the laundry room area. The building underwent a series of comprehensive inspections in 2023-2024, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing several violations related to an individual apartment (1E) including defective kitchen plaster, floor tiles, plumbing, and bathroom fixtures in September 2023, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected.

While the building has generally maintained good standing in terms of pest control, with consistent rodent inspection pass rates from 2021-2025 and no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods (2018-2024), there were some maintenance issues noted in the October 2023 inspections regarding flooring/stairs and mold, though no violations were issued. The property has consistently undergone required inspections and maintained compliance with most housing codes, though the recurring heating system problems remain a significant concern for resident comfort.
