872 East 225th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building at 872 East 225th Street, owned by Lisa Waring, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding the building's condition, including issues with the electric/gas range (in Apartment 3, with an Open violation regarding inadequate gas supply) and reports of mold. The building currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from September 2024, primarily concerning maintenance of the public hall on the first story, including damage to fire retardant materials, broken ceramic tiles, and requirements for repainting both the East and West walls.

Additionally, there are active violations related to the building's fire escape ladder shoe requirements (2023) and bedbug report filings (April 2024). The property has a documented history of electrical work-related issues, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 concerning unpermitted electrical work and failure to provide a tenant protection plan during construction in Ground Floor Unit 1, resulting in penalties totaling $37,530. These violations were initially classified as Class 1 and have only recently been dismissed as of September 2024.

The building also experienced heat and hot water issues in late 2018, though these were reportedly resolved shortly after the complaint was filed. A recent rodent inspection conducted in November 2022 passed, representing an improvement over a failed inspection from July 2014. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work, as evidenced by permit issuances in 2018, though some work appears to have been completed without proper permits, as noted in the 2018 violations.
