220 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The five-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building at 220 East Tremont Avenue in Mount Hope, owned by Zenon Chernyk, has had its share of maintenance and regulatory activity over the past five years. Most notably, the building experienced recurring complaints regarding a day care facility between April 2023 and January 2025, with three separate complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

In 2020, there was an emergency complaint regarding heat/hot water issues in an apartment, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Two non-emergency complaints were filed in April 2022 concerning unsanitary conditions related to pests and wall paint/plaster issues; however, no violations were issued following inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The building's ownership has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units for the filing periods between 2019 and 2023.

The property has a currently active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report from 2017. However, a positive aspect of the building's management is the consistent passing rate of rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in July 2025 and earlier inspections in January 2025, all showing "Passed" results. The bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2023 shows regular compliance with no recorded infestations, and the building's management demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by prompt closing of various service requests and compliance with inspection requirements when violations were not issued.
