475 Willis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The 5-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement at 475 Willis Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Gilberto Campos and built in 1905, has experienced several significant maintenance and habitability issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2020 and 2024 affecting both entire building and individual apartments. The building has also faced serious plumbing issues, including heavy water leaks in 2022 (notably affecting Apartment 6), and water supply problems in 2023, though inspections generally found no violations in these cases.

Apartment 6 specifically has multiple open housing violations from 2022 related to water damage, roach infestation, and various bathroom repair needs. More recent issues include door and mailbox complaints in late 2024, with one inspection unable to be completed. The building's health and safety record shows a mix of concerns, including a food poisoning incident in 2024 and multiple rodent activity reports between 2019 and 2022, though the most recent rodent inspection in 2023 passed.

The property has maintained a clean sheet regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods (2021-2024). Building-wide safety violations include unsanitary conditions noted in 2019 related to garbage storage, and various structural and safety compliance issues noted between 2017 and 2022. An expired permit violation from June 2023 was recorded but resolved with no penalties. The combination of recurring heat issues, plumbing problems, and maintenance violations, particularly in the most recent years, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and systems maintenance, though recent bedbug and rodent controls appear effective.
