1080 Anderson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 92-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1080 Anderson Avenue, constructed in 1930 and managed by Anderson Avenue Associates Lp, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges over the past several years, with particular emphasis on heating and pest control issues. Most recently, in spring 2025, the building faced multiple heat and hot water outages over a period of weeks, requiring multiple emergency responses from HPD, though these issues appeared to be promptly resolved in each case. An HPD investigation into pests in May 2025 was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has documented ongoing rodent activity, with multiple inspections throughout 2024 showing rat activity and the need for bait application, though a March 2025 inspection passed. The property has a history of various infrastructure and safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple inspections and violations. In December 2024, violations for heat and hot water issues were recorded, with specific problems noted in apartment 6H regarding hot water availability and building heating system access.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with several complaints about lack of alternate service and investigation findings in 2023-2025. Several violations were documented between 2021-2024 related to the building's fire safety systems, including issues with fire door self-closing mechanisms and fire service installation problems, though many of these were subsequently resolved or dismissed. The property has also faced structural and maintenance challenges, including roof leaks, problematic plastered surfaces, and building facade maintenance issues noted in 2022-2023. While there was one documented bed bug case in 2019, subsequent annual reports from 2020-2024 show no recurring infestations.
