272 East Gun Hill Road, Bronx, NY 10467
The 49-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 272 East Gun Hill Road in Norwood, owned by Martin Rooney and constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple housing code violations and service complaints between 2024-2025, with the most recent being a May 2025 indoor air quality complaint related to chemical vapors.
Throughout 2024, the building faced various maintenance challenges, including a pattern of violations related to doors and security (defective self-closing doors at entrances), entrance door repairs, and issues with the building's plumbing, including a reported heavy water leak in July 2024. Violations were also issued in 2024 concerning pest control (unsanitary conditions) and multiple problems with walls and flooring. Apartment 9E on the 5th floor was specifically noted for multiple violations in July 2024, including issues with mold, floor tiles, and hardwood floor condition.
The building's recent history shows a mix of active and closed violations, including three separate issues regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades (dating from 2021-2023) and an active complaint from May 2025 regarding possible illegal commercial use in a residential zone. The property has maintained consistent pest management practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and a rodent inspection showing passed results in May 2025, though there were instances of rat activity noted in previous years (2022-2024). The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention is needed regarding door security, plumbing issues, and interior maintenance, while also maintaining compliance with energy efficiency reporting requirements.
