630 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The five-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement at 630 East 187th Street in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Christopher Borgatti, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance over recent years. The building, constructed in 1931, experienced some significant boiler-related issues in 2018-2019, including multiple Environmental Control Board violations for improper safety equipment and maintenance deficiencies, resulting in a penalty of $1,562.

More recently, the building has maintained a clean bill of health regarding bedbug infestations, with all five annual reports from 2020-2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property underwent a series of rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, with only one failure recorded in March 2024, while all other inspections were passed, including a positive outcome on the most recent inspection in February 2025. The building's documented complaints and violations have generally been resolved promptly, with the most recent 311 service request related to a face covering violation in December 2021, though this was primarily a public health enforcement issue and not building-specific.

A significant housing maintenance violation was recorded in April 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reports have been filed consistently. While there were notable mechanical and safety issues in 2018-2019 related to the boiler system, these appear to have been addressed, as no similar violations have been recorded in recent years. The consistent passing of rodent inspections, with only one failure in over ten inspections, suggests ongoing attention to building hygiene, though the March 2024 failed inspection indicates some areas may require continued monitoring.
