813 Faile Street, Bronx, NY 10474

The 11-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 813 Faile Street in Hunts Point, owned by Ramon Escobar, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water complaints affecting the entire building in 2022 and 2023, though records indicate these systems were restored following tenant reports.

The building has also faced significant water-related problems, with two major leak complaints in 2024 (one classified as heavy flow and another as slow leak), and persistent water leak issues documented in 2023/2024 affecting stairway ceilings on multiple floors, resulting in open Class B housing maintenance violations. The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing violations, though the building passed several rodent inspections in 2024-2025. Emergency maintenance complaints filed in December 2023 revealed concerns including safety issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing problems, and unsanitary conditions including mold.

Additional building concerns include an Environmental Control Board violation from 2022 regarding cracks and spalling stucco on the sidewall, issues with improperly installed A/C units, and obstructed fire escape access, for which a penalty of $3,125 was imposed. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with all filings between 2019 and 2024 reporting zero infested units. While the property has experienced various plumbing, pest, and structural issues over the years, the owner has generally addressed most complaints through required inspections and repairs, though some violations remain open as of the latest available data.
