239 Bedford Park Blvd, Bronx, NY 10458

The 5-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 239 Bedford Park Blvd in Norwood, owned by David Refoua, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern regarding heat and pest problems. In early 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also faced challenges with sanitary conditions, including a carbon monoxide detector violation and pest problems, particularly affecting Apartment 3E, which was noted as having a cockroach infestation in March 2024 with an open violation status.

The property has undergone several inspections in 2024, resulting in violations related to fire safety materials and vestibule maintenance, though these were certified as corrected by August 2024. The building's recent history has shown recurring concerns about both heat/hot water issues and pest infestations, though the property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024. While rodent inspections have generally passed, there was one instance of rat activity recorded in May 2023.

Two health-related incidents were recorded in 2021 and 2024, though one was determined to be isolated. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including a door/window problem in 2019, but recent violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and pest control. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved issues and some ongoing concerns regarding building systems and pest management as of July 2025.
