588 Timpson Place, Bronx, NY 10455
The 6-story, 50-unit New Law Tenement building at 588 Timpson Place in Longwood, owned by Kalman Tabak and constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and water systems. From February to April 2025 alone, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with three consecutive complaints in April 2025 and several others in the preceding months. Additionally, there have been significant plumbing issues, particularly regarding water supply, with multiple complaints logged between March and June 2025, including some classified as emergencies.
The building underwent inspection in April 2024, revealing several maintenance violations in apartments 2F and 2G, including issues with pest infestations (cockroaches and mice), mold, bathroom fixtures, and water supply problems. The property has a documented history of compliance inspections, with most recent rodent inspections in 2023 showing a mix of passed and failed tests. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, the building's systems have shown recurring challenges.
The Department of Buildings records from 2019-2025 indicate several regulatory violations related to boiler inspections and elevator service, though many were subsequently dismissed. Two external low-pressure inspection violations were issued in 2024 but were later dismissed in 2025. Recent permits from 2018 and 2022 suggest some maintenance and repair activities have been authorized, though the frequency of heating and plumbing complaints in 2025 raises concerns about the building's infrastructure reliability.
