237 East 194th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The five-story, 25-unit building at 237 East 194th Street in Fordham, owned by Moshe Piller, has been facing persistent maintenance challenges since 2023. Most recently, in June 2025, there are ongoing issues with rodent problems as indicated by a DOHMH complaint about rodents/insects/garbage that remains in progress, despite an initial inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity. The property has experienced numerous water-related issues, including a water leak/damp spot violation in April 2025 and multiple plumbing complaints, most recently regarding a bathtub/shower issue in June 2025.

Residents have also reported various unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, with the most recent complaints filed in May 2025. The building has a history of violations dating back to at least 2018, when there were concerns about unauthorized work on the roof stairwell and defective fire escape conditions. While these violations were eventually closed, more recent issues have emerged, including problems with heat/hot water systems and paint/plaster conditions in various common areas and apartments.

Notably, the building's bedbug reporting history shows zero infestations between 2021 and 2024, suggesting effective management in this regard. The property is currently under the Alternative Enforcement Program, as indicated by a violation requiring posting of notices about the program and tenant reporting procedures. Recent inspections and service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to water issues, mold, and rodent infestations, suggesting persistent building management concerns.
