105 East 177th Street, Bronx, NY 10453

The 6-story, 46-unit New Law Tenement building at 105 East 177th Street in Mount Hope, owned by Jacob Eisenstein, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent months. As of July 2025, there are open complaints regarding a malfunctioning bell/buzzer/intercom system and heavy water leaks, both reported in May 2025. The building has also faced multiple plumbing-related challenges, with several water supply and leak complaints between March and May 2025, including a heavy flow water leak complaint that remains unresolved.

In March 2025, HPD inspections identified violations related to mold and wall conditions, particularly in Unit 2G, which had multiple violations issued for improper repair and maintenance of walls, ceilings, and electrical systems, as well as plumbing issues in Unit 3D. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with active complaints about lack of alternate service and maintenance issues noted in 2025, following a prior Oath violation in December 2023. Significant infrastructure problems have persisted, including a history of water supply and plumbing issues between 2023-2025, though 2025 rodent inspections have consistently passed.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2024-2025 regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and water damage, particularly affecting Units 2G and 3D. The building has maintained an apparently effective response to bedbug incidents, with no reported infestations in recent years. The property has experienced various permit-related issues, including multiple complaints about work being conducted without proper permits, though inspections generally did not find violations warranting penalties.
