1366 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The 61-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1366 White Plains Road in Parkchester, built in 1929 and owned by Joseph Yasgur, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a December 2024 heat and hot water complaint, which was initially reported as an emergency situation but later resolved. Throughout late 2024, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges, including a cluster of November 2024 complaints involving plumbing issues (sinks and bathtubs/showers), mold problems, door malfunctions, and wall/ceiling conditions, some of which resulted in violations being issued.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of problems, with four inspections between 2020-2023 noting issues ranging from in-car alarm system failures to emergency communication problems, resulting in violations and penalties totaling $3,630. Structural and maintenance concerns have been documented through various violations and complaints, including issues with self-closing doors in public areas, unapproved modifications in apartment 6G, and exterior wall maintenance problems. While rodent inspections in 2024 indicated rat activity, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years.

The most recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2023-2024 focused on elevator compliance, facade maintenance, and various building systems, with some active violations remaining for failure to submit required reports and maintain certain systems. The building has had regular inspections under Local Law 188/17, and historical complaints suggest ongoing attention to building systems and maintenance requirements is necessary. However, recent closed violations and complaints indicate that approximately 61% of maintenance issues have been resolved through official channels, though some remain active as of the latest data.
