1149 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The 2-family house at 1149 Nelson Avenue, owned by Hershy Klein, has experienced several recurring issues since 2020, with the most significant problems centering around heating systems and rodent infestations. The building, constructed in 1925 and consisting of 2 stories with 4 units, has recorded multiple heat and hot water complaints, including two emergencies in 2025 and 2023, and three similar complaints between 2020 and 2022.
The property currently has an active rodent issue, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing consistent rat activity, though bait was applied in September 2024 and one compliance inspection passed in May 2024. Additional issues have included various maintenance problems in Apartment 1, particularly between late 2021 and 2022, when violations were documented for lead paint hazards, plumbing issues, and pest infestations.
The building has also faced several construction-related violations, including unauthorized work and safety code breaches during a 2022 construction project, though many of these issues were resolved. Most recently, in 2025, there was a heat/hot water complaint that HPD could not investigate due to access issues. While the building has had numerous complaints and violations over the years, particularly concerning basic services like heating and maintenance, many historic violations have been resolved, though the current heat system and rodent issues remain prominent concerns.
