1184 Cromwell Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 72-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 1184 Cromwell Avenue in the Concourse neighborhood, built in 1927 and currently owned by Michael Goldberg, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about inadequate service in both the entire building and individual apartments, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2025. The building has also faced persistent water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots in May 2025, resulting in violations being issued.

The property has an open mold violation from October 2023 in apartment 6A, along with various self-closing door-related violations identified in late 2024. While the building experienced a bedbug infestation in 2019, more recent filings from 2020 through 2025 show no active infestations. Rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 have shown mixed results, with several passing inspections, though a rat activity finding was recorded in September 2024. The building has multiple open Department of Buildings violations related to energy efficiency requirements, including failures to display energy scores and grades, as well as an active elevator-related complaint from 2025 regarding the single device and lack of alternate service.

The property has a history of addressing maintenance issues through various inspections and corrections, as evidenced by multiple closed violations and service requests. However, the recent pattern of heat and water-related complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's management has generally responded to and corrected violations when inspected, as evidenced by multiple "Closed" status findings in the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. The building continues to require attention to various maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, water leaks, and elevator service.
