254 East 174th Street, Bronx, NY 10457
The 6-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement at 254 East 174th Street, built in 1924 and currently owned by Joseph Rosenberg, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring in 2024. Notably, Apartment D3 on the 4th floor had multiple violations issued in October 2024, including concerns about lead-based paint hazards, a roach infestation, and non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
The building has documented recurring issues with rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 passing, following several instances of rat activity recorded throughout 2024-2025. There were also multiple appliance-related complaints in 2024 regarding refrigerators, and a significant emergency plumbing issue related to water supply was reported in June 2025. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various system and appliance-related issues, including plumbing problems (both water supply and sink/basin issues), heating/hot water issues affecting the entire building, and concerns with doors and windows.
While many of these complaints were investigated and closed without violations, several instances required emergency responses, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems in 2022 and plumbing issues in 2021. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations between 2018-2021, though reports from 2022-2025 indicate no new infestations. The building's overall maintenance record shows some improvements in recent inspections, particularly in 2025, with rodent inspections passing, though the presence of past violations and recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to building systems and resident comfort is necessary.
