2503 Lorillard Place, Bronx, NY 10458

The six-story "New Law Tenement" building at 2503 Lorillard Place in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Pasquale Perretta, has a history of maintenance issues typical for a 1929 structure. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a heat and hot water issue affecting apartments, though this was quickly resolved within a day of the complaint. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance challenges, including multiple heat/hot water incidents (notably in 2019 and 2025), unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage, and problems with building systems like the intercom and appliances.

A significant concern emerged in June 2025 with plumbing issues, resulting in a partial stop work order and a potential revocation of plumbing approvals due to suspension of the licensed master plumber. The property has maintained generally good pest control measures, with no bedbug incidents reported in the past two years (2022-2024) and passing rodent inspections in 2025. However, there was a documented mouse infestation in a sixth-floor apartment in 2019.

The building has faced multiple violations related to energy reporting requirements under NYC regulations, including failures to file the annual benchmarking report and display energy efficiency scores, though many of these violations were ultimately dismissed. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted numerous inspections, with some complaints resulting in no violations being found or HPD being unable to gain access for inspection. While the building shows regular compliance with basic housing maintenance codes, the recurring issues with heat/hot water and plumbing systems suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure maintenance.
