1109 Clay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1109 Clay Avenue, owned by Samantha Magistro, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months 2024-2025. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including a recent mold incident in June 2025 that resulted in violations being issued, and multiple heat/hot water complaints in late 2024 and early 2025. There is also an ongoing issue with the building's elevator system, as evidenced by multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" from 2018 to 2025, with the most recent violations from 2024-2025 noting brake testing and maintenance issues that incurred penalties.
The building has a documented history of infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including multiple specific violations in apartment 3A identified during an inspection in November 2024, covering various issues such as defective electrical outlets, flooring problems, and a mouse infestation that required remediation. The property has undergone several plumbing and electrical repairs, with permits issued in 2019 and 2020 for various maintenance work. While there have been periodic issues with rodent activity in the building, recent inspections in 2025 have shown improvement, with the most recent inspection passing. The building's bedbug reporting history shows relatively few incidents, with the most recent periods indicating no infestations between 2022-2024.
Recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems like heat/hot water and elevator service. The property has experienced multiple unsanitary condition complaints, though not all resulted in violations. However, it's worth noting that the building's management has generally addressed violations when issued, as indicated by the "Closed" status on many complaints, though some violations from 2024 remain open. The elevator system has been a persistent issue over multiple years, with several violations related to safety features and maintenance requirements, including recent penalties imposed in 2024 for safety concerns.
