1920 Anthony Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1920 Anthony Avenue is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Sandra Erickson, located in the Mount Hope neighborhood of the Bronx. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, with the most recent open complaint filed in February 2025 regarding ceiling paint/plaster conditions. During December 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with appliances, plumbing, flooring, windows, and both sanitary and paint conditions.

Several of these complaints required inspections, resulting in violations being issued for the flooring condition, while others could not be inspected due to lack of access. The building underwent a significant inspection in December 2024, revealing multiple violations in Apartment 17, including issues with mold, pests (including cockroaches and mice), and problems with safety features like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Specific violations included broken bathroom floor tiles, issues with wall paint, and concerns about excessive furniture blocking a fire escape window, though all these violations were subsequently certified as corrected between January and March 2025.

The building has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free, with all annual filings showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2024. However, recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicated rat activity, while previous inspections between 2022 and 2024 generally showed compliance. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic upkeep, particularly in the most recent inspection period, though many violations have been addressed and certified as corrected in early 2025.
