733 East 147th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 13-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 733 East 147th Street, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by East 147 Realty LLC, has experienced recurring heating system challenges over the past few years, with multiple complaints documented between 2022 and 2025 regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building. The most recent complaints in 2025, while initially marked as emergency, were closed without violations being found.

The building underwent inspections in 2023 that revealed several violations in Apartment 3B, including problems with hot water delivery and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Structural concerns were highlighted in a 2022 ECB violation that noted various masonry issues, including horizontal and vertical cracks, deteriorating coping stones, and broken window stone surrounds, with a penalty of $1,250 imposed and resolved. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual filings between 2021 and 2024 reporting zero infested or re-infested units.

Pest control inspections have consistently shown compliance, with only one failed inspection in 2015 for "Other Reasons." Recent building maintenance issues have been mostly addressed promptly, as evidenced by the majority of complaints being closed following inspections, though access for inspection has occasionally been a barrier to resolution. The building's most pressing concerns appear to center around the heating system, with multiple complaints filed despite some being resolved or showing no violations upon inspection. The property, while showing some age-related structural issues, has generally responded to violations and maintenance requirements in a timely manner, as evidenced by the closure of most complaints and violations.
