1178 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1178 Washington Avenue is a 6-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by David Tennenbaum. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in 2025, particularly with water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple emergency service requests and housing maintenance code complaints regarding heavy water flow leaks, plumbing issues, and heating system failures.

Several complaints, including those relating to mold, pest infestations, and electrical problems, required HPD inspections but were either not accessible for inspection or did not show violations at the time. The property has a documented history of rodent activity from 2018 through 2020, though inspections in 2022 have shown improvement with the building passing rodent inspections. Housing Maintenance Code Violations from late 2024 indicate various maintenance issues, including problems with doors, windows, and heating elements in specific apartments (1B, 2B, and 3C), with some violations classified as Class B and C, indicating varying levels of severity.

The building's management has also faced administrative violations related to low pressure inspections in mid-2023, though these were ultimately dismissed. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no infestations reported, the recent maintenance issues and repeated access problems for inspections suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and responsiveness to resident complaints. The property also underwent some improvement works in 2019, as evidenced by issued permits, though specific details of this work are not provided in the current data.
