104 West 190th Street, Bronx, NY 10468

104 West 190th Street is a 5-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Steve Finkelstein. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns focusing on multiple water leaks reported in May 2025 (including both heavy flow and slow leaks), an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage, and ongoing rodent activity requiring regular bait application throughout 2024-2025.

The building had significant heating issues in late 2023, with multiple heat/hot water complaints for both individual apartments and the entire building, though these were ultimately resolved through HPD inspections. A series of tenant safety inspections conducted between 2024-2025 generally resulted in compliance, except for one Local Law 188/17 inspection in December 2024 where the inspector was unable to gain access. The building's violation history reveals various maintenance concerns, including electrical issues near the mailboxes, security concerns with the street entrance door lock, and safety issues regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5A.

Multiple environmental control board violations from 2021 remain active, relating to an expired permit and unauthorized courtyard extension. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record with no reported infestations since 2019, though inspection records show consistent rodent activity requiring regular intervention. Recent construction or work-related complaints have been minimal, with the most recent permit issued in December 2022 for electrical work.
