1385 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The six-story, 42-unit New Law Tenement at 1385 Nelson Avenue in Highbridge, built in 1924 and currently owned by Consolato Cicciu, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most pressing are two open HPD complaints from May 2025 - one regarding janitorial/superintendent services and another concerning an unspecified door/window issue from March 2025. The building has faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 indicating inadequate service, including two complaints in January 2025 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
Recent violations include an open Department of Buildings (DOB) issue from September 2024 regarding failure to file 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and an April 2024 violation concerning lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 5E. The building has a history of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple complaints about radiator problems and heavy water leaks between 2024-2025. The property has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with recent inspections in April and May 2025 showing rat activity, though previous inspections had passed.
While there were violations in 2023-2024 regarding lead paint and door repair issues, most historical violations appear to have been resolved. The building's bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show minimal infestation history, with only two incidents recorded in 2019 and 2018. Recent plumbing system issues, heating problems, and open maintenance complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident services, particularly regarding heat and hot water provision.
