1191 Clay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1191 Clay Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Sandra Erickson. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented emergencies in November 2024 and March 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though inspections confirmed restoration of services. The building has faced significant pest management challenges, particularly in 2024, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, including confirmed infestations in Apartments 4A, 4B, and BB.

Violations were issued in October 2024 related to bedbug and water leak issues in Apartment 4B, though these were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building's systems have also required attention, with a 2022 Department of Buildings investigation revealing corrosion and oil leak issues in the boiler system, leading to an Oath violation. Recent inspections and compliance checks show some improvement, with all rodent inspections since 2022 passing, including the most recent in March 2025.

The building has demonstrated an ability to address bedbug infestations when they occur, as evidenced by the 2024 report showing three units treated and eradicated. Notably, the property's heating system continues to require attention, as evidenced by the most recent 311 complaint in March 2025. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent filing in December 2024 indicating proper management of the issue, despite showing multiple infested units in 2024. The presence of multiple heat and water-related complaints over the past two years suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance, though these issues are typically addressed promptly when reported.
