581 East 164th Street, Bronx, NY 10456
The 5-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement at 581 East 164th Street in Longwood, owned by John Warren, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2025, with particular problems recurring around heat and hot water supply. Between February and May 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with several instances where HPD could not gain access to complete inspections. Most recently, in May 2025, a mold complaint was filed but HPD was again unable to complete their inspection.
The building has also faced various maintenance problems including unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage (February 2025), and multiple violations in apartment 4B identified during a November 2024 inspection related to bathroom fixtures, hallway painting, and lighting. Notably, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. The building's history shows some recurring patterns, particularly with heating systems and maintenance access issues.
The elevator system had multiple violations recorded in 2024-2025, and the boiler room access has been a recurring concern, with violations documented in both 2023 and 2024 inspections. While the building has been free of bedbug infestations in recent years (with zero reported cases from 2019-2024), rodent inspections show mixed results, with evidence of rat activity recorded in 2016-2017, followed by a passed inspection in October 2022. The most recent maintenance code violations were primarily addressed by December 2024, though some C-class violations related to hot water supply remain open.
