867 East 181st Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The 4-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement at 867 East 181st Street, built in 1931 and currently owned by Ahc Housing Development Corp., has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are currently two open violations from November 2024 in apartment 1C, requiring light-colored paint application to the ceiling and walls in two rooms.

The building has a significant history of rodent activity, with inspections showing rat activity in 2021, 2022, 2019, and most recently in January 2025. The property underwent multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in November 2022, covering various issues including plumbing, electrical, window frames, and safety concerns related to the fire escape, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Recent maintenance history shows some positive developments, including the property passing rodent compliance inspections in March 2025 and June 2024, and maintaining a bedbug-free status in recent reports from 2024 and prior years.

A significant cluster of violations and complaints was recorded in 2021-2022, including issues with hot water supply (1C), gas supply (2A), and an infestation of roaches (4A), though many of these were subsequently resolved. The building's permit history from 2021-2023 shows consistent attempts to address various maintenance needs, with permits being issued regularly for work requiring Department of Buildings approval. While the frequency of past violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, the most recent records indicate some improvement in compliance with housing regulations, particularly regarding pest control and response to housing maintenance code requirements.
