574 East 163rd Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 574 East 163rd Street in Longwood, owned by Paul Moore, has been in operation since 1907 and currently contains 16 units. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being repeated complaints about smoking/vaping violations in smoke-free areas in late 2024. In 2023, the building had documented pest issues and related violations, particularly affecting apartment 5A, which underwent multiple inspections and received violations for both roach and mouse infestations.

The unit had numerous maintenance issues addressed in 2022-2023, including problems with smoke detectors, various plumbing fixtures (bathtub, sink, toilet), and kitchen cabinets. Of particular note, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint for the entire building in late 2022 that required correction verification. The building has maintained relatively consistent rodent control success, passing multiple inspections from 2010 through 2022.

There have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with all recent reports showing zero infested units. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations and service requests through various city agencies, including HPD and DOHMH, though some issues have required multiple interventions to fully resolve. Recent inspection records indicate ongoing compliance efforts, with some violations being certified as corrected, while the most recent 311 service requests from October 2024 regarding smoking violations were closed after Health Department response.
