526 Tinton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455
526 Tinton Avenue, a 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Mark Engel, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly regarding heat and water systems, which have been the subject of multiple emergency complaints in 2025. The building has documented three distinct instances of heat/hot water problems in March and April 2025, with one recent complaint from April 2025 being closed without inspection access. Additional concerning conditions were reported in early 2025, including mold issues, water leaks, and floor problems, all of which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations.
A notable safety concern involving a carbon monoxide detector inspection in February 2025 also warrants attention. The building's December 2024 inspection revealed multiple lead paint violations in apartment 1D, while apartment 4C was found to have serious pest infestation issues at that time. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring heating system problems, with 2025 experiencing the highest frequency of heat-related complaints in recent years.
While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, there have been previous documented rat activity issues in 2017 and 2019. The Department of Buildings records indicate an unclosed violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to submit an required Emergency Evacuation Plan. The building has previously experienced minor pest issues, as shown in bedbug reports from 2019-2022, though recent filings show no current infestations. The property underwent various permitted work in 2018-2021, including electrical and plumbing upgrades, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts by ownership.
