1114 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1114 College Avenue is a 5-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by the 1130 College Avenue HDFC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest problems, including two formal pest complaints as recently as May 2025. Building systems have shown persistent deficiencies, particularly in heating and hot water, with complaints recorded in March 2025 that HPD inspectors were unable to access for verification.

The building has also faced challenges with cooking gas functionality, flooring conditions, and plumbing issues, though some of these problems were addressed through HPD inspections that resulted in violations being issued. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing consistent rat presence, despite some inspections passing compliance standards. Recent housing maintenance code violations from late 2024 include a defective building entrance door lock, problematic self-closing roof door, and various safety system deficiencies in Apartment 1B, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and heating systems.

Additionally, there was an emergency violation regarding hot water temperature in March 2024. While the building appears to have successfully managed bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations in recent years, the current open violations and recent service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect tenant comfort. The most recent rodent inspections in mid-2025 indicate continued pest management needs, though the building has passed some subsequent inspections.
