1172 Anderson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 48-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 1172 Anderson Avenue in Highbridge, owned by Jay Miller, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent occurring in November 2024, and an emergency water supply issue reported in June 2025. The building has faced significant structural concerns, with active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2024 citing failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances, including cracked and spalled mortar joints, particularly affecting the 5th floor and parapet level, with associated penalties totaling $25,780.

There are also several open housing maintenance violations from March 2023 affecting apartment 5B, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, excessive storage issues, and floor damage near a steam radiator. The building has experienced various other maintenance challenges, including pest infestations (with inspections showing rat activity in 2021, 2022, and as recently as June 2025), mold issues, and appliance problems. Notably, there have been multiple failed inspections for rodent activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 show some improvement.

The property has shown a pattern of heating system issues, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water. While there have been bedbug infestations recorded between 2019 and 2021, recent filings for 2022-2024 indicate no reported infestations. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed to address the currently active ECB violations and the open housing maintenance violations in apartment 5B.
