651 East 236th Street, Bronx, NY 10466
The 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building at 651 East 236th Street in Wakefield, owned by Prela Rukaj, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past several years. Ten separate heat/hot water complaints have been recorded between 2021 and 2024, with multiple instances of no heat or hot water affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.
Most recently, in April 2025, there were complaints regarding mold and improper garbage/recycling storage, with violations issued for the mold issue. The building has also faced other maintenance challenges, including roof leaks, chimney repairs, and safety concerns such as missing window guards and smoke detectors in apartment 2D, along with a pest infestation that was addressed in 2020. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past two reporting periods (2023-2025), with only one reported case in 2023 that was promptly resolved.
While a boiler inspection violation was issued in 2019 for failure to file the 2017 inspection report, this was dismissed in 2024. The building has generally passed rodent inspections, though some failed inspections were noted between 2016 and 2019, with the most recent inspection in 2022 passing. Several building-wide issues have been addressed through HPD inspections, including repairs to fire retardant materials, public hall maintenance, and various other building systems, indicating ongoing oversight and enforcement of building maintenance requirements.
