1374 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1374 College Avenue in Claremont Village is a 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement built in 1915, currently owned by Consolato Cicciu. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent incidents in March 2025 involving plumbing problems and water leaks. Of particular concern is the apartment 3E, which was inspected in October 2024 and found to have multiple violations including missing smoke detectors, broken electrical fixtures, doors off hinges, and evidence of rodent infestations with both mice and cockroaches reported.

The apartment also had various structural and maintenance issues documented, including defective windows, damaged floors, and peeling paint on multiple surfaces. While some violations have been certified as corrected by December 2024, several remain open. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple complaints about damp spots and sink problems noted in both 2024 and 2025.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted inspections and issued violations, though some complaints resulted in no violations due to inability to access the affected areas. The property has undergone four rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025, with varying results including "Passed," "Failed for Other Reasons," and "Rat Activity" in July 2024. Despite the maintenance challenges, the building has not reported any bedbug activity since 2021, and all recent bedbug reports show zero infested units. A gas utility referral complaint from 2020 was investigated in 2021 with no violations found.
