125 West Kingsbridge Rd, Bronx, NY 10468

The 48-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 125 West Kingsbridge Road, owned by Richard Timberger and constructed in 1921, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there have been numerous heat and hot water-related complaints between December 2024 and March 2025, affecting both individual apartments and entire building systems, though in each case, heat and hot water were reportedly restored when inspectors responded.

More recently, in May 2025, there was a Department of Health investigation regarding indoor air quality and chemical odors, which resulted in an advisory to the property owner. The building has also shown recent electrical and infrastructure challenges, with multiple emergency and non-emergency maintenance complaints recorded in June 2025, including issues with wiring, power outages, doors, flooring, and plumbing. The property has a documented history of various maintenance violations and repairs over the past few years, including a 2024 mold issue in Apartment 5B's bathroom, roof leak concerns, and various building-wide maintenance needs such as window repairs, fire safety compliance, and bathroom tile issues.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025, with the exception of some rat activity noted in 2022-2021 and bait applications in 2020, the property continues to experience periodic infrastructure challenges. Notably, there is an ongoing Environmental Control Board violation from 2019 regarding a failed final inspection for façade repair work, with an imposed penalty of $1,280. The building's bedbug reports from 2019 to present have consistently shown zero infestation cases, indicating effective pest management practices.
