2883 East 195th Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 2883 East 195th Street, built in 1927 in Pelham Bay and currently owned by Suada Balic, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years (2024-2025). Most notably, there have been multiple heating and electrical problems, including repeated heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, and several instances of power outages. In March 2025 alone, there were two power outage complaints and a no-lighting issue that required HPD intervention, with violations being issued for one of the power outage complaints.

The building currently has several open housing maintenance code violations from 2024, including issues related to fire stopping, accumulation of refuse, and bedbug report certification requirements. Apartment 1 has multiple documented violations, including concerns about lead-based paint hazards, electrical wiring conditions, door-related issues, and various maintenance needs documented during a February 2024 inspection. The building's history shows a pattern of heating system problems, with documented outages in both 2024 and early 2025.

Electrical system issues appear to be ongoing, with multiple service requests in 2025. Previous Department of Buildings records from 2020 show violations related to improper building maintenance and work performed without proper permits, including issues with fire stopping and unsafe conditions in the basement. There have also been recurring rodent inspection failures in recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing non-compliance. The property has experienced numerous 311 service requests and violation notices in recent years, though many of these complaints were not able to be fully investigated due to access issues during HPD inspections.
