1447 Macombs Road, Bronx, NY 10452

The 53-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 1447 Macombs Road in Mount Eden, owned by Albert Fleischman and built in 1927, has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges in recent years. The building has faced repeated issues with smoking violations in smoke-free areas, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2025 currently under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. There have been three significant water leak incidents classified as emergencies between 2022 and 2023, along with multiple rodent inspections showing inconsistent results, including a "Failed for Other Reasons" outcome in June 2025 and previous rat activity confirmations in December 2022 and October 2023.

The building faced substantial pest control challenges in 2024, with violations issued for roaches and mice infestations in multiple units, specifically affecting apartments 1H, 3C, and 5J. The property has also experienced electrical issues, including a power outage in April 2025 and various building maintenance problems such as flooring defects, unsanitary conditions, and appliance issues documented between 2023-2025. Violation records show an active citation for failing to file external low-pressure inspections in 2018 and boiler inspection reports in 2017.

While the building has maintained relatively consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in the last four reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, the overall pattern of violations and service requests suggests ongoing challenges with basic maintenance and building systems. The Department of Buildings has issued work permits in 2020, but the current status of these improvements is not detailed in the available records. The building's age and persistent maintenance issues warrant attention, particularly regarding the recurring pest control problems and safety systems compliance.
