269 East 235th Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The 21-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 269 East 235th Street in Woodlawn, owned by John Kucher and constructed in 1928, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building underwent a series of heat and hot water outages in early 2023, with multiple complaints filed between January and February, though in several instances, tenants reported that services had been restored before inspections could be completed.

A power outage occurred in August 2023, marking the building's most recent utility-related issue. The property currently has multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2023-2024, as well as a recent Department of Buildings violation issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection. The building has a documented history of various infrastructure concerns, including cooking gas issues in 2021, though inspections were often unable to gain access to verify conditions.

Safety-related violations were addressed in early 2023, including the proper posting of gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and the removal of obstructions from fire escape routes, all of which were closed by March 2023. While rodent inspections in 2020 and 2023 resulted in passing grades, indicating no violations at the time of inspection, the building's maintenance history has shown recurring issues with basic services and safety compliance. The property underwent permit activity in August 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the current records.
