917 Ogden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

917 Ogden Avenue is a 6-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Jacob Eisenstein. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed for both entire building and apartment-specific problems, particularly in January 2025. There were also several plumbing and water supply complaints during this period, with HPD often unable to gain access to conduct inspections.

The building underwent significant repairs following a four-alarm fire on July 26, 2019, which caused damage to units 5B and 6B as well as roof areas, though these repairs were completed and signed off by early 2020. Recent inspections and complaints reveal ongoing maintenance challenges, including rodent activity consistently noted in inspections throughout 2024-2025, though the building maintains a zero count for bedbug incidents in recent reporting periods. Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 indicate issues such as a malfunctioning building entrance lock, garbage accumulation in fire passageways, and an infestation in Apartment 5A (including cockroaches and mice).

The building has a history of elevator service complaints between 2020-2024, though inspections typically found no violations. Environmental violations from 2019 related to electrical equipment and fire damage were resolved. The most recent Department of Buildings violation, from December 2021, regarding energy efficiency score display requirements, remains active as of the latest available data.
