915 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The 39-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 915 Kelly Street in Longwood, owned by Luigino Gigante, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. As of May 2025, there are multiple open complaints regarding basic infrastructure problems, including a window frame issue, plumbing problems involving a basin/sink and toilet, floor concerns, and wall paint/plaster issues. These recent complaints add to a troubling pattern of building system challenges, particularly noted in 2025 when heat and hot water issues affected both individual apartments and the entire building, though these complaints were ultimately marked as closed after systems were reportedly restored.

Earlier violations and complaints from 2024 indicate more serious concerns in Apartment 4F, including mold, pest infestation, and multiple safety equipment deficiencies such as missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by violations recorded in September 2024 regarding the fire escape system and security features. While the property has a history of passing rodent inspections in recent years (most recently in January 2023), it has been subject to various repair requirements, such as the need to display energy efficiency information (as of December 2021) and elevator service issues (July 2022).

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2019, suggesting effective pest management practices, and recent housing maintenance inspections have not indicated significant new violations. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and safety equipment, particularly in recent months, while also demonstrating some responsiveness to previous issues through repairs and system restorations. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements in recent years, and historical bedbug reporting shows consistent zero infestation cases.
