416 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458
The 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 416 East 187th Street in Fordham, owned by David Spitzer, has a concerning record of maintenance issues and violations dating back to 2022, with the most pressing problems occurring in 2024-2025. The building has active challenges with persistent rodent infestations, as evidenced by multiple "Rat Activity" designations during 2024-2025 inspections, and recent complaints in June 2025 about water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and electrical problems that resulted in HPD violations.
Notably, there are several open violations from a December 2024 inspection of Apartment 1A, including issues with pest infestations (mice and roaches), door functionality, and ceiling repairs, while Apartment 3C has violations related to missing window guards. The building's recent history shows recurring plumbing issues, with multiple water leak complaints in 2025, and interior maintenance concerns including problems with floors, ceilings, and lighting. December 2024 violations also documented issues with self-closing doors and window repairs.
The property has experienced systematic maintenance failures in the past, as evidenced by two active violations filed in June 2023 for failing to file required External Low Pressure Inspection documents from 2018 and 2020. Historical complaints dating back to 2019-2020 included violations regarding egress blockage and unsafe electrical equipment. While bedbug inspections from 2019-2021 showed no reported infestations, the building's current maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic habitability requirements.
