1375 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

1375 Nelson Avenue is a 6-story, 35-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Kobina Arhin. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues over the past few years, with multiple reports of leaks documented between 2023-2024, including both slow and heavy flow leaks affecting various units (notably apartments 3A and 4G).

The building has also faced several heating and hot water complaints, with multiple emergency reports in 2023-2024, including a significant entire-building heat/hot water issue in December 2024 that resulted in violations. Recent concerns about pest control are evident, with rodent-related complaints in 2025 resulting in failed inspections, following a pattern of rodent activity noted in previous years; however, the building has consistently demonstrated bedbug-free status according to official reports from 2019-2024. The building's maintenance history reveals additional safety concerns, including a reported window guard issue in January 2024 (with no violations found), and various repair needs documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting apartments 3A and 4G.

These violations, issued in mid-2023, pertained to water damage affecting walls and ceilings in kitchens and other areas. The property has shown relatively good compliance with rodent inspections between 2022-2024, with most inspections passing or failing for "other reasons," though recent inspections in 2025 indicate ongoing rodent control challenges. The building's management has generally responded to tenant complaints, with many issues being addressed and closed through HPD inspections, though some violations appear to remain open as of the latest inspection records.
