254 East 184th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The 254 East 184th Street building, a 5-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1916, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years under the ownership of Regina Williams. Most notably, there is currently an open structural violation from February 2024 regarding horizontal and vertical cracks on the north exterior wall affecting multiple floors, along with an active Environmental Control Board violation related to the brick facade condition.

The building has also faced recurring heating deficiencies, with emergency heat/hot water service requests filed in early 2025 and May 2024, though these were resolved upon inspection. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented throughout 2024-2025, with multiple inspections confirming rat presence between March 2024 and May 2025, despite some treatments being applied. The property has a history of various maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly during 2022 when multiple violations were recorded in apartment 1A, including concerns with window guards, mold, smoke detector functionality, bathroom conditions, and kitchen cabinet repairs.

The building experienced electric power outage issues in February 2024, and while some earlier complaints from 2022 regarding plumbing, wall conditions, and garbage storage did not result in violations, they indicate ongoing maintenance needs. The structure has also been subject to building stability concerns, with complaints filed in February 2024 and related ECB violations, though a subsequent Local Law 188 inspection recorded no violations in February 2025. Unlike many older buildings, it's worth noting that 254 East 184th Street has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past several years, with no infestations reported in its annual filings since 2019.
