205 East 176th Street, Bronx, NY 10457

The 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building at 205 East 176th Street in Mount Hope, owned by Mark Neiman and constructed in 1915, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. The building has faced multiple heating and hot water system failures, with two separate incidents in early 2025 and additional complaints in late 2024, though HPD inspections indicated these issues were resolved.

There have been significant plumbing and water-related problems, including a heavy flow water leak complaint from December 2024 that was closed in May 2025, and multiple plumbing-related complaints between 2024-2025. The building has also had infrastructure challenges, particularly in 2018 when multiple ECB violations were issued regarding fallen bricks and a lintel issue on the 5th floor, though these were resolved with associated penalties. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2023-2025, with mixed results including failed inspections in early 2024, though the most recent July 2025 inspection passed.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented, including a mold issue in 2D (2023) and concerns about lead-based paint compliance in multiple units (2A, 2B, 2C, 3B, 3C) which were subsequently addressed. The building's system maintenance history shows particular attention to heat and water systems in recent months, with multiple service requests and emergency complaints indicating ongoing resident concerns. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of addressing major violations once identified, with no current open violations or unfixed issues on record as of October 2023.
