800 East 179th Street, Bronx, NY 10460
The five-story New Law Tenement building at 800 East 179th Street in Tremont, owned by Lash Kocovic and constructed in 1912, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building faced a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in December 2024, which was resolved within days, and had multiple violations issued during a period of serious plumbing, mold, and sanitation issues in June 2024.
These June complaints included problems with multiple sinks and bathtubs/showers, as well as reports of pests and water leaks, though some of these were ultimately closed with no violations issued upon inspection. The building has a history of various maintenance violations and complaints, including multiple issues in apartment 30 in December 2024 (window sashes and roach infestation), and problems in apartment 14 in September 2024 including electrical, plumbing, and plaster issues. Department of Buildings records from 2019 indicate past boiler room safety violations, though these were ultimately resolved.
Recent rodent control inspections throughout 2024 and 2025 show ongoing rat activity, with bait applied regularly. However, the bedbug inspection records from 2021 to 2025 show consistent reports of zero infested units. While the building's management has addressed many issues as evidenced by the closing of numerous violations, the recurring nature of some complaints, particularly regarding plumbing and pest control, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
