675 Coster Street, Bronx, NY 10474
The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 675 Coster Street in Hunts Point, owned by Jose Vasquez, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues since 2024. Most recently, in March 2025, multiple inspection requests were submitted regarding plumbing (sink), pests, and window frame issues, though inspectors were unable to complete their inspections due to access issues. Between 2024 and 2025, similar access problems hampered inspections for door issues and mold.
The building is currently facing open Class A and C violations from a September 2024 inspection, including problems with door security, plumbing fixtures, and missing safety notices. These violations include non-functioning electromagnetic locks, a malfunctioning bathroom flush mechanism in apartment 4A, and the need for safety-related repairs such as providing a peephole in the entrance door. The property has an ongoing history of pest control challenges, as evidenced by failed rodent inspections in 2023 (with rat activity noted) and 2025 (initial inspection failed), though it passed a compliance inspection in May 2025.
The Department of Buildings records show multiple active violations related to energy efficiency reporting and display requirements, with the most recent citations dating from 2020-2022 regarding failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores. Despite these numerous issues, the building has consistently maintained active compliance inspections from 2015-2025, though with variable results regarding pest control. The building's management has often struggled to facilitate necessary inspections, as shown by the repeated pattern of HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for inspections, leading to the closure of various complaints without resolution.
