1359 Findlay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1359 Findlay Avenue is a five-story, 11-unit residential building located in Claremont Village, owned by David Tennenbaum and constructed in 1900 as a New Law Tenement. The property has faced ongoing maintenance challenges in 2025, with multiple health and safety concerns emerging between March and May 2025, including pest infestations, heating issues, and problems with window guards and smoke detectors.

The most recent complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests remains open as of May 2025, though previous similar complaints from April were closed due to inspection access issues. Significant violations were documented in August 2024 in Apartment 3, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, leaky shower faucets, and self-closing doors, with additional building-wide issues noted such as broken plaster surfaces in bathrooms. The building has a documented history of mechanical and safety concerns, including a 2021 boiler issue that resulted in an ECB violation for multiple system deficiencies, though this was eventually resolved with a $3,125 penalty.

While the property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in recent years, rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with multiple failed inspections noted in 2024 and 2025, though some subsequent inspections passed. Recent violations have primarily focused on building systems and safety equipment, with an active rodent control program in place as evidenced by bait applications and inspections. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with addressing resident complaints and completing necessary repairs, as evidenced by multiple instances where HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in 2025 and the presence of open violations as of mid-2025.
