736 East 133rd Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 736 East 133rd Street in Port Morris, owned by Harold German, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. Most recently, in February 2025, there were two emergency complaints regarding lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building, though the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department was unable to gain access to inspect the units.

These heating complaints have been a consistent pattern, with similar reports recorded in February 2019, all of which were closed without inspection due to access issues. The building has also faced administrative challenges, receiving four separate violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, though these violations were ultimately closed.

However, it's worth noting that during the past three bedbug reporting periods (2023-2025), the building has maintained a clean record with no reported infestations or re-infestations in any dwelling units. The property has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023, 2011, and 2010, suggesting effective pest management practices. Despite the persistent heating system access issues and bedbug report violations, the absence of reported bedbug infestations and successful rodent inspections indicate some maintenance stability in recent years.
