270 Alexander Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454
The 5-story New Law tenement at 270 Alexander Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Joseph Zitolo and built in 1893, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly from 2019-2025. The most recent incident occurred in April 2025 involving water supply plumbing issues, while in 2021 there were complaints about garbage/recycling storage and another water supply problem.
Notable clusters of issues emerged between 2020-2021, including multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems (with two inspections in September-October 2020 unable to access units), pest infestations (including roaches and bedbugs), and unsanitary conditions involving mold. The building has shown periods of significant pest challenges, with bedbug infestations reported in 2019-2020 affecting multiple units, though recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicate no current infestations. The property has been subject to various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including failure to maintain proper signage regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements and heating system contact information, though these violations were certified as corrected by February 2021.
Apartment 4B had documented issues in 2020 involving plaster repair and electrical outlet problems, while apartment 1C faced pest violation citations in 2019. Recent rodent inspections (most recent in May 2023) have consistently passed, suggesting improvements in pest management. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of responsive, though sometimes delayed, resolutions to complaints, with multiple plumbing and water supply issues being the most frequent concerns, as evidenced by both HPD and 311 service requests.
