1041 Findlay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1041 Findlay Avenue is a 6-story, 70-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Robert Corso. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2024 and 2025, with multiple reports of rodent activity, including recent inspections in June and July 2025 showing continued rat activity. The building has also faced significant problems with water leaks, mold, and unsanitary conditions, particularly in 2024, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued against apartment 6B for issues including mold, pest infestations, and deficiencies in smoke detector and window guard requirements.

There have been recurring complaints about the elevator service throughout 2022-2024, with multiple violation notices related to "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" and one instance of "Inoperative Disc Brake Monitor" requiring correction. Recent 311 service requests from April 2025 indicate ongoing issues with flooring and cabinet conditions, though some other recent complaints including heating issues and water leaks from 2025 were resolved relatively quickly. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of unresolved and recurring issues, including multiple open complaints as of mid-2025 related to flooring, walls, and cabinets.

While some violations have been closed and corrected over time, such as elevator-related issues and various other Housing Maintenance Code violations, new problems continue to arise. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2018 and has had some successful rodent control efforts, as evidenced by passing compliance inspections in 2023, though subsequent inspections have shown recurring rat activity. The building's management has made efforts to address various maintenance issues as indicated by inspection results, but the frequency and nature of service requests suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
