1214 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
1214 Shakespeare Avenue, a 6-story, 43-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating and water systems. The building has documented four heat and hot water complaints between late 2024 and mid-2025, with the most recent being in June 2025, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly in each case.
More concerning are the recurring elevator problems, with multiple Oath Violations served in 2024-2025 for "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," and various maintenance issues requiring attention through Environmental Control Board violations, including an active violation from July 2024 regarding water stain and seepage in apartment 6A. The property has faced several regulatory challenges, including multiple violations related to lead paint hazards in apartment 6C, documented in late 2024, which required remediation under applicable codes. Recent inspections have shown persistent rat activity in and around the building, with multiple compliance inspections in 2025 and 2024 revealing this ongoing issue.
The building has maintained an active bedbug-free record from 2018 through 2025, with consistent filings showing no infested units. Historical data reveals previous patterning of maintenance issues being addressed, including plumbing concerns in late 2024 and various other building maintenance matters throughout 2024. While some issues have been classified as "Non-Emergency," the frequency and nature of heating system problems and elevator service interruptions suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.
