519 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458
The three-story New Law Tenement at 519 East 187th Street in Belmont, owned by Erick Gonzalez, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years. The building has three residential units and was constructed in 1931. Since 2021, there has been a recurring pattern of pest-related issues, with multiple complaints and inspections revealing rodent activity.
Notably, from late 2023 through 2025, there have been several rat activity reports, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing compliance after bait application in April 2025. The property has faced significant violations related to building safety and habitability, including open violations from 2023 concerning lead paint hazards, bathroom painting requirements, and issues with floor tiles and stair handrail repairs. Of particular concern are three active ECB violations from 2022 regarding an allegedly illegal cellar apartment conversion, obstructed exit pathways, and unpermitted work, for which penalties totaling $5,000 have been imposed. The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (toilets and sinks), water leaks, windows, and general condition complaints in 2021.
A bedbug report filed in 2022 for the period of 2020-2021 indicated no infestations during that timeframe. More recent inspections suggest improved compliance with rodent control measures, though rat activity remained a recurring issue throughout 2024-2025. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, including paint conditions, door repairs, and fire safety issues. The property has undergone several inspections, with various conditions noted and corrective measures required, particularly in Apartment 3 on the third floor.
