876 East 225th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 15-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 876 East 225th Street in Wakefield, currently owned by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced a series of persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with particular attention needed to water-related problems. Most notably, there are currently two active emergency complaints from June 2025 regarding water leaks with heavy flow and window frame issues, and three additional open complaints since April 2025 concerning window frames.

The building has a documented history of water leak problems, with multiple such complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, though most were resolved through inspection, with violations sometimes issued. Other significant maintenance concerns include a rodent infestation problem in apartment 3D reported in 2021, and similar issues in 3B, both of which received appropriate attention under the Housing Maintenance Code. The building's violation history shows several repairs were required, including work on the ceiling in apartment 3D (2023), roof repairs over skylights and various ceilings in the public hall (2022), and various other maintenance tasks in multiple units.

A gas piping complaint from 2022 was investigated with no violations found. The property has consistently demonstrated good management of pest control, as evidenced by multiple bedbug inspection reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, and a passed rodent inspection in December 2022, following initial rat activity reports from November 2022. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing responsiveness to tenant complaints, though the recurrence of water-related issues and recent emergency complaints may indicate continuing infrastructure challenges that require attention.
