1988 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
The property at 1988 Davidson Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Sam Klein. The building has experienced recurring issues with pests, evidenced by multiple 311 service requests in 2025 (most recently in May 2025) and a July 2025 inspection that failed for "Other Reasons". These complaints were marked as violations that required remediation under NYC housing codes.
The building also faced significant maintenance challenges in early 2024, including multiple heat and hot water complaints (some classified as emergencies) and electrical issues affecting lighting and outlets. Notably, Apartment 2D received sanctions in June 2024 for both electrical problems and pest infestations (mice and roaches), though these violations were certified as corrected by July 2024. The elevator service has been a recurring concern, with active complaints as recent as June 2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service". Previous inspections between 2019-2020 related to elevator issues had varying outcomes, with some resulting in violations and others finding no issues at the time of inspection.
The building's facade and common areas have received attention for various code violations, including requirements for proper posting of heating system information and inspection certificates in public areas. While the building has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug concerns (showing no infested units in recent annual reports between 2021-2024), the pest management situation remains problematic. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with the most recent July 2025 inspection failing to meet standards, though earlier inspections in 2024 and 2023 had passed. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues requiring ongoing attention, particularly regarding building systems and pest management.
