225 East 202nd Street, Bronx, NY 10458
The 43-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 225 East 202nd Street in Norwood, owned by Jeffrey Stern, has a significant history of maintenance issues since 2018. The building, constructed in 1927, has experienced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly documented in 2019, 2021, and most recently in early 2025, when multiple heating and water supply complaints were logged through 311 services. The property has also faced persistent plumbing issues, with several water supply complaints recorded between 2022 and 2025, including three separate incidents in June 2025 alone, one of which was classified as an immediate emergency.
The building has documented rodent activity on multiple occasions, with recent inspections in 2025 showing continued concerns, including a July 2025 inspection with recorded rat activity. There have been various building maintenance issues requiring attention, including plumbing problems, cabinet repairs, and an electrical power outage in June 2025. Notably, violations were documented regarding building safety requirements in 2018, including the need to post proper notices for smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and carbon monoxide detector requirements.
The property has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting since 2019, with all reports showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating good management of this particular pest issue. Recent compliance efforts include the submission of energy efficiency documentation in December 2024, though an earlier violation from 2021 regarding energy score display remains active. The building has shown consistent attention to bedbug monitoring, with reports showing no infestations across multiple years, and has generally addressed major violations, as evidenced by the closure of several Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2018 and 2022. However, the recurring nature of plumbing, heating, and rodent issues suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
