1229 Clay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The 123-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 1229 Clay Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by the Pd Family Sheller Trust, has experienced numerous significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is an active ECB violation from October 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy of apartment 2C contrary to a vacate order, with a penalty of $4,800 imposed. The building has faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2024-2025 confirming rat activity.
A serious fire incident in February 2024 caused substantial roof damage affecting units 6C, 6D, and 6E, with structural concerns noted in subsequent DOB violations. The property has also exhibited recurring maintenance challenges, including multiple recent complaints in June 2025 regarding no lighting, intercom issues, floor problems, plumbing in the bathroom, and pest infestations, all of which HPD was unable to fully inspect despite attempt. Previous violations from December 2024 highlighted various problems in apartment 1B, including issues with heating, water supply, and various surface repairs. The building's historical record shows a pattern of non-compliance with maintenance standards, including multiple instances of failure to maintain fire escape systems, as evidenced by active ECB violations from 2024-2025.
These violations involve blocked fire escape windows and a detached drop ladder, raising serious safety concerns. The property has also had periodic issues with bedbugs, though recent reports from 2024-2025 indicate no current infestations. While some violations from 2018-2021 have been resolved, including issues with the boiler system and occupancy concerns, the building continues to experience significant maintenance challenges that affect resident quality of life. The most recent environmental control board violations and rodent activity reports suggest ongoing struggles with pest management and building maintenance.
