4563 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10470

The 15-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 4563 White Plains Road in Wakefield, built in 1929 and owned by Jeff Cohen, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in late 2024, there were multiple violations identified in Apartment 3B during inspections in November, including mold conditions in the bathroom (with violations classified as both Class A and B), pest infestation (Class C), peeling paint issues, and missing window guards. The building has a pattern of plumbing-related complaints, with the most recent water supply issue reported in November 2024, though HPD determined no housing law violations were observed during their inspection.

There have been recurring problems with doors and security features, including multiple complaints about door conditions between 2021 and 2024, and violations regarding self-closing doors and latch sets in 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, with several appliance-related complaints in 2024 and a significant bell/intercom system problem in early 2023 that resulted in violations. While the property has faced various infrastructure challenges, including plumbing and door maintenance issues, it has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest management in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations from 2022 onwards.

Rodent inspections over the years show a mix of compliance results, with the most recent inspections passing. The building's Department of Buildings record indicates one active violation from 2021, while a technical reporting violation from 2019 was dismissed. The property has been subject to regular HPD inspections and 311 service requests, with most issues being addressed through HPD interventions, though some problems persist or have recurred. The most recent cluster of violations in late 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 3B, while the building's overall systems and infrastructure continue to show periodic requiring attention across various categories, including plumbing, security, and general maintenance.
