536 East 168th Street, Bronx, NY 10456
The 6-story, 34-unit New Law Tenement building at 536 East 168th Street in Morrisania, owned by Zev Miltz and constructed in 1917, has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there was a significant pattern of heat and hot water problems in early 2025 affecting the entire building, with complaints filed between April 2025 and May 2025, though inspections indicated that conditions were restored or not confirmed.
The building also underwent multiple inspections in May 2025 that resulted in violations related to flooring, while other complaints regarding electrical issues, wall and ceiling conditions, and a water leak were found not to violate housing laws. The building has a documented history of pest and rodent issues, with violations recorded in late 2024 for apartment B6 showing evidence of roaches, and in mid-2024 showing mice infestations in apartment A1. Earlier inspections in 2022 and 2023 revealed rat activity, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicate no infestation cases.
Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 showed various maintenance issues including problems with self-closing doors, the need for repairs to plastered surfaces, and the presence of damp conditions, though most violations were eventually certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history includes multiple instances of water-related issues, with inspections in 2024-2025 addressing complaints of leaks and damp spots. Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 noted several maintenance and equipment issues related to the building's infrastructure, while a Department of Buildings inspection from 2024 regarding plumbing issues was unable to gain access for verification.
