1043 Lowell Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1043 Lowell Street, owned by Allan Robinson, has been experiencing significant maintenance issues throughout 2024, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in October 2024. Multiple violations were documented, including problems with mold, pests (both mice and roaches), damaged window frames, and safety concerns related to smoke detectors and window guards. Notably, Apartment 1 has received several citations for broken plaster surfaces, peeling paint, and issues with bathroom fixtures and doors.

A recent illegal conversion complaint was filed on October 23, 2024, though access for inspection was denied. The building's rodent inspection from August 2024 resulted in a failed status, while previous inspections between 2010 and 2017 consistently passed. Despite these ongoing issues, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, according to the most recent filing from November 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations being filed throughout 2024.

Specific violations include problems with paint and plaster surfaces, unsanitary conditions, and various safety issues. The building's 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints from October 2024 show a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues being reported, many of which received HPD violations following inspections. The presence of mold, pest infestations, and safety concerns such as missing or broken window guards and smoke detectors suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention. The most recent rodent inspection from August 2024 indicates continued pest control issues, despite the building passing inspections from 2010 to 2017.
