781 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10456
The 13-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 781 East 169th Street in Morrisania, owned by Abraham Samuel, has experienced several notable issues since 2023, with a significant concentration of building maintenance and safety concerns emerging between June and September 2023. Multiple violations were documented during a September 2023 HPD inspection, including issues with doors/windows, flooring, plumbing, carbon monoxide detectors, and various appliances. A pattern of appliance-related problems is evident, with refrigerator issues documented in both October 2024 and September 2023.
The building has also faced sanitation challenges, particularly with a current DOHMH investigation (opened June 2025) regarding rodents/insects/garbage, following a recent history of rodent-related concerns including a 2022 rat activity finding. More serious health and safety concerns were identified in September 2023, including visible mold conditions in multiple locations, particularly affecting Bathroom 4R and other areas, along with a documented cockroach infestation in Basement Apartment 4R. The property has maintained generally good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no reported infestations in the 2022-2023 and 2019-2020 reporting periods.
While rodent inspection results have varied over the years, recent inspections have shown improvement, with the most recent compliance inspection in January 2023 passing. During 2023, the building received violations requiring repairs to doors, windows, flooring, plumbing, and safety systems. These violations generally reflect ongoing maintenance and repair needs in various apartment units, particularly in Basement Apartment 4R, which appears to have experienced multiple simultaneous issues requiring attention to mold, plumbing, flooring, and appliance problems. The most recent HPD inspection records from 2024 and 2023 suggest a pattern of access issues during inspections, with some complaints being closed due to inability to access affected rooms.
