784 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 40-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 784 Fox Street in Longwood, owned by Ansel Duvivier, has experienced recurring maintenance and compliance issues since 2022. Most notably, there has been a consistent pattern of heat and hot water complaints throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants. The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with the most recent complaint about pests filed in May 2025, and an earlier infestation of roaches in Apartment 1 documented in December 2024.

The property has experienced plumbing issues, including a significant water supply problem in November 2024, and garbage/recycling storage concerns in October 2024 that were not properly inspected. The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about the single-device elevator with no alternate service between 2021 and 2025. While violations related to fire escape ladder safety were issued in July 2024, these were subsequently addressed. In 2023, violations were found regarding the roof leak affecting the 6th floor public hall.

The building's maintenance history shows irregularities with safety equipment, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1 (December 2024), though these violations were later certified as corrected. The property has demonstrated generally good rodent control since 2019, with most inspections passing, though there was one failed inspection in 2018. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in recent years, with the last reported case occurring in 2018. The owner has had multiple violations dismissed regarding energy benchmarking requirements, suggesting administrative issues rather than safety concerns.
