1151 East 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The five-story New Law Tenement building at 1151 East 165th Street in Longwood, owned by Solomon Day and housing 11 units, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most notably, between March and May 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints including issues with heat/hot water, water leaks (both heavy and slow), plumbing problems involving sinks and bathtubs/showers, and various unsanitary conditions including pest infestations.

The building's current significant violations from September 2024, while previously addressed, indicate past concerns with water leakage, ceiling issues, and mold in Apartment 5A. Additional historical data shows recurring rodent activity, with multiple bait applications recorded in 2024 and 2025, though rodent complaints have not been formally documented since 2022. The property has shown some improvements in certain areas, as evidenced by rapid response and closure of multiple complaints in 2025, including a recent heat/hot water issue resolved within three days.

Compliance inspections in 2024 revealed several Class B and C violations related to water systems, pest infestations, and building maintenance, though most have been closed with certified corrections. Notably, there were no bedbug infestations reported in the last five annual filings (2020-2025), and a complaint regarding locked/blocked egress in 2019 was investigated with no violations found. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with water-related issues, pest control, and building systems, though recent complaint resolutions indicate some responsiveness to tenant concerns.
