560 East 189th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

560 East 189th Street is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Halil Cantic. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between 2021 and 2024 affecting the entire building. While all these complaints were ultimately closed with confirmation of corrected conditions, the frequency of these incidents raises concerns about the building's heating system reliability.

The property has also faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 11, where inspections in late 2021 revealed multiple Class B and C violations including rodent infestation, water leaks, plumbing issues, and various repair needs. These violations, though issued in November 2021, appear to remain open as per the most recent available data. Additional concerns include an active Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from October 2021 regarding unpermitted electrical work with a penalty of $4,000, which remains unpaid as of the latest records.

The building's garbage storage areas received an unsanitary condition violation in late 2021, and while rodent inspections have shown improvement with multiple "Passed" results in 2024, there were instances of rat activity and other compliance failures noted in recent years. On a positive note, the building's bedbug reports for 2022 through 2025 indicate no infestations or related issues during these periods. The property's heating system has been a persistent concern, with the most recent heating complaint registered in March 2024, and the building's overall maintenance record shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive repairs.
