530 East 236th Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The 36-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 530 East 236th Street in Woodlawn, owned by Mary Smith and constructed in 1929, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past five years. Most notably, there have been multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with the most recent occurring in January 2024, and several incidents clustered around December 2022 and February 2021. While all these complaints were ultimately closed with reports of restored services, the pattern suggests persistent heating system challenges.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations in the past six monitoring periods. Recent inspections in 2023 passed rodent control requirements, following several bait applications in 2019. The building has faced regulatory scrutiny regarding facade maintenance, receiving violations related to the failure to submit required Cycle 8B reports of exterior wall conditions in 2018 and 2021, with associated penalties totaling $4,375.

A building-wide violation that was active as of 2020 involved failure to file a benchmarking report of energy use. Various Department of Buildings complaints from 2019 related to adjacent buildings, site conditions, and safety concerns were investigated but no violations were warranted. The property has undergone multiple permit issuances in 2019 for work designated as "AL." While the heating system issues are the most significant ongoing concern, the building's overall maintenance record shows attention to pest management and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
