315 Alexander Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

The five-story, nine-unit Old Law Tenement building at 315 Alexander Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Simon Moskowitz and built in 1931, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. As of June 2025, there is an open emergency water leak complaint with heavy flow conditions, and the building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints documented between late 2024 and 2025.

Notable resident concerns were reported in April 2025, including unsatisfactory conditions related to mold, electrical lighting failures, and various appliance problems, particularly involving kitchen facilities. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple violations and emergency complaints, including a significant cluster of problems documented in late 2024.

The property has undergone various inspections and repairs over the years, with some successful resolutions of violations, including rodent infestation and mold issues in apartment 3F in late 2024. The building's management has generally addressed documented violations within the required timeframes, as shown by numerous "certified" dates indicating compliance. While the building has maintained a zero infestation rate for bedbugs in recent annual reports from 2019 through 2024, the property has faced recurring rodent control challenges, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 resulting in a failed outcome for "Other Reasons." The building's electrical systems have been subject to scrutiny, with two separate complaints in 2020 and 2024 regarding defective wiring and no lighting conditions, though inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their investigations in both instances.
