1124 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

Located in Concourse Village, 1124 College Avenue is a 5-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Dwarka Mathura. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple pest-related complaints filed through 311 in 2024 (most recently in August) and ongoing open violations related to annual bedbug report filings (current as of April 2024).

There are several active Building Department violations regarding failure to file External Low Pressure Inspections for 2021-2023. The building has faced various maintenance challenges over the past few years, including multiple HPD complaints in May 2023 related to water leaks, wall conditions, door/window issues, and broken window guards, most of which were verified as corrected following HPD inspections. Apartment 3 on the 2nd floor has been the focus of several specific maintenance issues, with open violations as of February 2024 related to floor tile repairs, bathroom fixture issues (including a leaky faucet and bathtub repair needs), and documented historical pest infestations (2022) that were certified as abated.

The building has experienced heating system issues in 2022 (no heat/hot water complaint) and sanitation concerns including garbage/recycling storage problems in 2022. Rat activity has been documented during multiple inspections in 2023-2025, with the most recent inspections in June and July 2025 showing persistent rodent presence, though some inspections have resulted in "Passed" statuses. While many complaints have been addressed, there is a notable pattern of access issues during HPD inspections, particularly for complaints filed in 2023 and 2024, as well as ongoing concerns about pest management and rodent activity.
