1755 Weeks Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The five-story, 44-unit New Law tenement building at 1755 Weeks Avenue in Mount Hope, owned by Moshe Piller and constructed in 1922, has experienced numerous maintenance and housing quality challenges in recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, multiple housing code violations were documented, including issues with ceiling and wall paint/plaster, slow water leaks, floor conditions, and unsanitary garbage/recycling storage.

Apartment 4D has been the focus of several documented violations since October 2024, including problems with water leaks, defective plaster and paint surfaces, door issues, and an infestation of roaches. The building's maintenance history shows persistent concerns with sanitation, as evidenced by multiple complaints about garbage storage and pest problems throughout 2025 and in previous years. The property has undergone several inspections revealing concerning patterns of maintenance issues, particularly regarding water damage and structural concerns.

A series of rodent activity inspections between 2023 and 2025 indicate ongoing challenges with pest control, despite bait applications. The building has a history of various complaints related to illegal conversions, electrical safety, and exterior maintenance, with some complaints resulting in ECB violations for conditions like accumulated combustible waste and construction debris (2018-2022). While the Department of Buildings has issued several permits for work on the property, including electrical and plumbing work in 2018, the building continues to grapple with numerous housing violations and service requests, suggesting recurring challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
