934 East 179th Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement at 934 East 179th Street, owned by Valerie Torres, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a cluster of emergency service requests from June 2024, including violations related to flooring conditions, mold issues, and wall paint deficiencies. The building has also faced major heating system problems, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water service throughout 2022, and several violations remain open as of 2024.

The basement apartment currently has active violations for pest infestation, carbon monoxide detector issues, and various repair needs. From 2023-2024, the property has had recurring violations regarding wall and ceiling conditions, particularly in Apartments 2C and BSMT. The building's recent history shows attention to maintenance needs, with multiple emergency work permits issued between 2021-2023.

An active ECB violation for unsafe electrical equipment was recorded in 2021 with a $4,000 penalty. However, some improvements are noted, as the building passed its most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 and has consistently shown no evidence of bedbug infestation in annual reports from 2022 to 2024. Historical inspection records from 2016-2025 show generally improving conditions regarding pest control, though a failed rodent inspection in 2017 was noted. While many violations have been addressed through permits and repairs, a number of violations remain open as of 2024, particularly regarding safety systems and maintenance of basic living conditions.
