932 East 173rd Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The 5-story New Law Tenement building at 932 East 173rd Street, owned by Helen Wingate, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues in 2025, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. As of July 2025, there are active violations related to emergency access to the heating system and a leak in the boiler safety valve, with multiple complaints in May 2025 regarding heat and hot water problems in the entire building. The building has a pattern of violations indicating inadequate maintenance of infrastructure, including persistent issues with garbage storage, flooring conditions, and door/window maintenance.

In December 2024, several Class C violations were issued, including problems with window guards in Apartment 4C and multiple issues in Apartment 5B involving water damage, excessive hot water temperatures, and various maintenance problems. The building has also faced challenges with safety and sanitation. There are ongoing rat activity reports as of mid-2025, despite some bait application efforts, and recent complaints about unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas.

The property has accumulated multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including the failure to provide clear egress and access to heating systems, as well as issues with sprinkler head obstructions in various areas. Historical violations from 2021 indicate past concerns with exit passageway obstruction and compliance with fire safety requirements. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to recent reports, the persistent maintenance and safety violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
