1173 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
1173 Nelson Avenue is a 6-story, 61-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 in the Highbridge neighborhood and currently owned by Paula Gaccione. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented complaints in late 2024 alone (December 14 and 23), all marked as emergencies and requiring HPD intervention to restore service. These heating system problems have been a pattern, with similar complaints recorded in 2023 (November) and multiple instances in 2021, suggesting potential ongoing infrastructure challenges.
The building has also dealt with various maintenance issues, including water leaks (February and March 2023), electrical problems (power outage in April 2021), and historical lead paint concerns in apartment 5E documented in 2022. An inspection in 2023 revealed several violations in apartment 3D, including water leaks, paint issues, and window guard requirements, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property has maintained a strong record of rodent control, with all recent inspections (2023-2025) passing except for one instance in January 2022 showing rat activity.
Notably, the building has undergone regular bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2024, with only one recorded infestation in 2018-2019, and no new cases reported in the past six filings. A boiler inspection in June 2025 resulted in no violations being found, though there was a previous complaint about the boiler's condition. The building's documented issues have been primarily related to heating systems and water-related problems, with most complaints being resolved through HPD intervention.
