259 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
The five-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building at 259 East Tremont Avenue in Mount Hope, built in 1913 and currently owned by Roberto Ariziga, has experienced persistent heating and water service issues over recent years. The most recent heating system failures occurred in April 2024, with emergency complaints filed for lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, continuing a pattern of heating system problems that dates back several years. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple heating-related complaints, including two in 2022 where inspectors were unable to access units for verification.
The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical issues (May 2022 - no lighting), safety inspections regarding sprinkler systems (July 2022), and pest control concerns, with rodent sightings reported in 2022-2023. Significant violations were recorded in late 2019 related to unauthorized basement modifications, including the installation of a beauty salon without proper ventilation and unpermitted bathroom facilities. These resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with associated penalties, though records indicate these have been resolved.
More recently, the building has passed several rodent inspections in 2025, though initial inspections in 2023-2024 showed some rodent activity that required baiting. The property has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports, with no infested units reported in the past five filing periods (2020-2024), demonstrating successful eradication protocols. While some maintenance issues have been addressed promptly, the recurring nature of heating system problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges within the building's systems.
