707 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458
The 32-unit, five-story New Law Tenement at 707 East 187th Street in Belmont, owned by Yehoshia Sturm, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues throughout recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2025. The most recent inspections in June 2025 documented unresolved issues with water leaks, ceiling damage, and flooring problems, for which violations wereissued and the complaints marked as emergencies or immediate emergencies. Earlier in 2025, multiple electrical problems were reported, including power outages and inadequate lighting, resulting in violations being issued.
The building has also faced rodent infestation challenges, with inspections in 2023 and 2024 consistently showing rat activity, though the most recent compliance inspection in January 2025 passed. Historical data reveals ongoing maintenance concerns, including an open violation from December 2024 regarding a roach infestation in Apartment 2, as well as various building code violations from 2024 inspections. These included issues with building walls, stairwell safety, and door security.
The property has a history of electrical and plumbing problems, as evidenced by multiple service requests and violations between 2020 and 2025, including unauthorized modifications to create additional bedrooms in Apartment 25 (reported in 2020). Tenant safety has been a recurring concern, with violations related to egress and fire safety requirements, though the most recent bedbug reporting indicates no infestations in recent years. The building's management has occasionally failed to promptly address violations, as indicated by several administrative violations regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions between 2019 and 2021.
