272 East 199th Street, Bronx, NY 10458
272 East 199th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1916, currently owned by Heng Ly. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with seven emergency complaints between December 2024 and March 2025 reporting inadequate heat and hot water, including recent complaints from February and March 2025, with one complaint still remaining open as of March 2025. The building has four open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of May 2024, including required repairs to fire retardant materials and fire safety doors in the public stair areas, though some similar violations from 2022 have been certified as closed.
The building has a history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though a compliance inspection in July 2024 reported a passing result. The property has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six years (2019-2024). The building's maintenance history shows regular inspection and response to emergency situations, though the recurring heating and hot water issues suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.
Notable recent violations include defective fire safety features in the stairs, particularly on the 1st and 3rd stories. The most recent inspections and violation records indicate that while some issues have been addressed through repairs and certifications, others remain outstanding as of the latest data available. The property has had at least one sidewalk shed inspection in 2024, which resulted in no violations being found, and it appears to have resolved previous issues with window repairs and various maintenance matters identified during 2022 inspections.
