415 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The four-story New Law Tenement building at 415 East 187th Street in Fordham, owned by Guy Altberg, has experienced numerous significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been persistent problems with heating and hot water systems throughout the entire building, with multiple complaints recorded between March and June 2024, some classified as emergencies. There were also recurring issues with cooking gas supply during the same period, including at least one instance in 2023 that resulted in violations.

The building has experienced recent appliance issues, with a refrigerator complaint in mid-2024 and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage. A notable cluster of Housing Maintenance Code violations was documented in March 2024, primarily affecting apartment 4W, including problems with pest infestation, carbon monoxide detection systems, and various maintenance issues. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with two open violations as of March 2024 related to door hardware and security.

Recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed mixed results, with some indicating rat activity and others failing for unspecified reasons. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations over the past several years, according to official filings. The property's inspection history also shows occasional issues with building safety and security features, including self-closing doors and emergency notifications, though some of these violations have since been closed. The building's age (built in 1910) and classification as a New Law Tenement suggest it is subject to specific housing maintenance requirements, which appear to be inconsistently met based on the available data.
