52 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
The five-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building at 52 East Tremont Avenue in Mount Hope, owned by Harrison Rayford and constructed in 1923, is currently facing multiple maintenance and safety issues. Most notably, a cluster of complaints was filed in May 2025, including concerns about plumbing (basin/sink), door issues, safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various paint/plaster problems affecting walls and ceilings.
All these complaints were marked as emergency situations by the Housing Maintenance Code but HPD was unable to complete inspections, suggesting persistent unaddressed conditions. The building has an ongoing history of maintenance challenges, with significant violations documented in December 2024 related to Apartment 5C, including problems with radiators, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical issues, and pest infestation (roaches).
The property has also experienced some concerning patterns regarding safety and sanitation, with multiple rodent activity inspections showing inconsistent results between 2023 and 2025, though July 2025 inspection passed. Additional historical context includes a 2023 violation for failing to file an energy use benchmarking report, and records indicate regular maintenance work has occurred, with multiple plumbing and electrical permits issued between 2018 and 2020. The building has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations in recent annual reports from 2020 through 2024, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
