2253 Newbold Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-story, four-unit "New Law Tenement" building at 2253 Newbold Avenue in Unionport, owned by James John, has an established history dating back to its 1925 construction. The most significant cluster of incidents occurred in mid-2018, when multiple complaints were filed between July 30 and November 17.

During this period, there were documented issues with plumbing (specifically concerning bathtubs/showers), flooring conditions, general maintenance (specifically related to janitorial/supervisor services), and unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions. Of particular note was an emergency heat/hot water complaint received in November 2018, though this was listed as closed the following day.

The inspection attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), which were initiated in July 2018, were unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, resulting in the closure of those complaints with a note suggesting that new complaints should be filed if the issues persisted. Subsequent to November 2018, there are no additional complaints or incidents recorded through the available data up to October 2023, indicating either successful resolution of the prior issues or a lack of new complaints during this timeframe.
