306 East 171st Street, Bronx, NY 10457
The 6-story, 80-unit New Law Tenement at 306 East 171st Street in Claremont Village, currently owned by Jacob Schwartz, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particularly significant problems emerging throughout 2025. Recent complaints in June 2025 included safety concerns about smoke detectors, heavy water leaks, and mold, though inspections found no housing law violations. Multiple complaints from May 2025 remain concerning, with HPD unable to access units for inspection related to water leaks, plumbing issues, electrical concerns, and unsanitary conditions.
The building has also faced persistent elevator problems, with multiple "No Alternate Service" complaints and violations documented between 2023-2025, including an active complaint from June 2025. Earlier issues include significant electrical concerns in Apartment 2G in late 2023-early 2024, with violations for ungrounded outlets and exposed electrical wires. The building has documented rodent activity through multiple inspections in 2024-2025, suggesting an ongoing pest control challenge. Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2024 indicated problems in Apartments 4C and 5L, including mold, peeling paint, and pest infestations.
While some violations have been closed or resolved, including those related to a 2024 illegal conversion complaint and various electrical issues, several violations remain active as of mid-2025, including concerning the building's occupancy status and maintenance of critical systems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both delayed responses to inspections and persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding the elevator system and various building systems requiring repair or replacement. While there have been periods of compliance, the most recent data from 2025 indicates ongoing challenges with access for inspections, unresolved maintenance issues, and critical system shortcomings that impact resident safety and comfort. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases since 2021.
