1822 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
The 35-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 1822 Davidson Avenue in Morris Heights, built in 1927 and currently owned by Pierre Downing, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, between June 2025 and July 2025, multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued, including unsanitary conditions related to pests, plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers, toilet problems, window frame concerns, mold, and various paint/plaster deficiencies. There are also three open violations from June 2025 related to garbage/recycling storage, paint/plaster on the ceiling, and multiple unsanitary conditions.
The building's fifth-floor apartment 5A has had particularly persistent problems, with violations issued in 2024 regarding roaches, defective electrical outlets, non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and broken refrigerator gaskets, though records indicate these were eventually certified as corrected between August and December 2024. The property has shown problematic patterns in pest control, particularly with rodent management; while there have been some passed inspections, several failed inspections in 2025 and 2024 indicate ongoing challenges. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years (2019-2024).
The building also has multiple open violations related to external low-pressure system inspections, with violations issued in 2023-2024 for failure to file the required inspections. Historical records show some concerns about possible illegal conversions and certificate of occupancy issues, though these complaints were investigated and found no violations at the time of inspection. While some improvements have been made to address safety concerns, including repairs completed in 2024, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance issues that affect resident quality of life.
