1184 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The 22-unit, 5-story tenement building at 1184 Nelson Avenue in Highbridge, owned by Ramiro Velez and constructed in 1927, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past couple of years, most notably regarding heating systems. The building has had multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024 and 2025, including recent emergency complaints in February 2025 affecting the entire building and specific apartments. Notable violations were documented in December 2024 regarding hot water issues in apartment 4D, and in August 2024 concerning pest infestations in apartment 2A, which was subsequently resolved.
The building has also faced multiple safety concerns, including a period in 2024 where inspection access was denied for multiple complaints related to smoke detectors, floor conditions, water leaks, and door issues. More recent rodent inspections in March 2025 passed, though there were previous failures in 2024. Historical records show consistent pest management challenges, with inspection results varying between passing and failing in 2022-2024. The building has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs according to the annual reporting system from 2020 to 2025.
Previous maintenance issues include documented violations from 2022 in apartment 4C regarding plaster and paint conditions, as well as roof leakage. The Department of Buildings has received several complaints over the years, including concerns about electrical wiring in December 2024, though inspections found no violations at the time. Multiple permits for electrical work were issued between 2018-2019, indicating some building system maintenance activities have been formally documented. While some issues have been resolved through inspections and violations being closed, the frequency of heating system complaints and other maintenance challenges suggest ongoing building upkeep requirements.
