806 East 175th Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The five-story, 43-unit New Law Tenement building at 806 East 175th Street in Tremont, owned by Fermin Garcia, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly throughout 2025. The building faced multiple heating and hot water complaints during January-February 2025, with tenants reporting lack of these essential services in both individual apartments and throughout the entire building. While some of these issues appeared to be resolved upon inspection, they indicate potential systemic problems with heating infrastructure.

Additionally, there were recent concerns about pests, with a April 2025 complaint resulting in violations from HPD, following earlier pest issues documented in December 2024. This building has an active violation related to failure to file energy benchmarking reports as of August 2024, and previous violations from late 2024 included concerns about window repairs and roach infestations in specific apartments (1E and 5E). The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system reliability issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water in early 2025 and various related violations throughout 2024.

The property has undergone several inspections for rodent activity between 2017 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, though prior inspections in 2023 and 2022 had indicated rat activity. Notably, there were multiple violations issued in late 2024 regarding safety systems, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector issues, as well as window repair needs in apartment 5E. The building's management has generally responded to violations, with many being certified as corrected by early 2025, though the recurrence of heating and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
