1770 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1770 Davidson Avenue, a 6-story, 65-unit New Law Tenement built in 1927, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water service disruptions in 2025, with entire building outages reported in February. The building faced various maintenance challenges in late 2024, including plumbing issues affecting bathtubs/showers, indoor air quality concerns, and several complaints that were inspected but found to not violate housing laws, such as those related to doors/windows, mold, and wall conditions.

The property has a documented history of pest issues, with recent bedbug reports showing infestations in 2024 and 2020, though both were reportedly eradicated. The building's maintenance history includes several significant violations and complaints. In 2024, Apartment 2D received notices for water leakage and plaster/paint issues that were subsequently certified as corrected.

The property has encountered multiple regulatory issues, including outstanding violations related to lead paint hazard documentation from 2022 in Apartment 4A, and failure to file necessary inspection reports for external low-pressure systems in 2023. Rodent inspections have shown variable results, with initial inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicating rat activity, though subsequent compliance checks passed. The building's management has demonstrated a pattern of responding to complaints, as evidenced by multiple "closed" designations on service requests, though some issues appear to require ongoing attention, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and periodic maintenance concerns.
