310 East 196th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The property at 310 East 196th Street is a five-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Heng Ly. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water, with emergency complaints reported in February 2024 suggesting ongoing concerns with building-wide temperature maintenance. Water-related problems have also been persistent, with both slow and heavy leaks reported in 2023, though inspections did not result in violations.

Multiple paint and plaster issues have been documented over the past few years, affecting both walls and ceilings, particularly in 2023 when several complaints were filed but access for inspection was not granted. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various maintenance issues. In August 2023, Special Notices were issued requiring the posting of safety information regarding gas leaks and carbon monoxide detectors, along with updates to inspection certificate postings.

Apartment B2 has been the focus of multiple violations over the years, including issues with doors, bathroom ceiling repairs, and historical problems with radiator systems. Notably, a mold issue was documented and addressed in late 2021, and the most recent rodent inspection in May 2024 passed, suggesting improved vermin control measures since a rat activity report in late 2022. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations or re-infestations during this period.
