115 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10452
This 6-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building at 115 East 169th Street, owned by David Tennenbaum and constructed in 1928, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between January 2024 and May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water systems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though many were resolved shortly after inspection. The building has also faced elevator-related challenges, with multiple complaints recorded between 2023 and 2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service." Significant safety concerns arose in 2025, including broken or missing window guards and several plumbing emergencies, though most were resolved or closed promptly.
The property has multiple active violations from 2024 relating to unauthorized modifications in the cellar area, including unauthorized construction of bathrooms, bedrooms, and installation of water, waste, and gas lines, with penalties totaling $12,500. In addition, there are two currently active DOB violations from late 2024 regarding failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained good inspections results for rodent control, passing all inspections since 2019.
Notable improvements include successful resolution of a mold issue in 2024 and recent inspections showing no bedbug infestations between 2018 and 2025. The building's environmental control board violations from October 2024 primarily relate to elevator maintenance issues, including misaligned mirrors, audio problems, and safety signs, with a penalty of $625. While recent months have shown numerous service requests, many are being addressed through proper channels, though there have been some difficulties in gaining access for inspections.
