751 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

751 East 187th Street is a 5-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jacqueline Tom. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints between March and April 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While these issues were generally resolved quickly according to HPD records, the frequency of complaints raises concerns about the building's heating system reliability.

In 2024, there was one construction lead dust complaint that remains in progress. The building has undergone several inspections related to Local Law 188/17 Compliance, with most being resolved without enforcement action. In 2023, apartment 22 received multiple violations related to window repairs and safety equipment, including carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, though records indicate these were addressed. Historically, the building has passed several rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the exception of one in 2021 indicating rat activity.

Notable past violations include a 2018 case regarding boiler room maintenance issues, which was resolved with a penalty of $625. The property has maintained a zero-incident record for bedbugs since 2019. Recent door-related issues were reported in April 2025, though these are still under review. The building's management has generally addressed violations promptly, as evidenced by the quick resolution of most recent complaints, though the pattern of heat and hot water issues suggests ongoing system challenges.
