2024 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2024 Davidson Avenue, a 5-story, 16-unit New Law tenement built in 1926, has experienced recurring systemic maintenance issues over the past year and a half, particularly with heat and hot water systems. The building has documented six heat/hot water complaints between January 2024 and February 2025, three of which affected the entire building and resulted in violations being issued. Other significant issues have included mold and ceiling problems in August 2023, an active construction lead dust complaint from August 2023, and various apartment-specific maintenance needs.

Unit 1A, in particular, has had multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with plaster surfaces, doors, water leaks, and an infestation of mice, all of which were certified as corrected by July 2024. Building systems maintenance has been an ongoing concern, with the elevator service showing violations in 2021 and two active Department of Buildings violations from 2021 regarding Category 5 inspection and failure to certify correction of hazardous conditions. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025, with all annual inspections showing compliance.

Additionally, the building has reported zero bedbug incidents in the past five reporting periods from 2020 through 2024. While basic building systems continue to show recurring issues, particularly with heat/hot water, recent inspections for rodents and bedbugs suggest effective management of those particular pest control challenges. The property is currently under the ownership of Sam Klein, and while many maintenance issues have been addressed through official inspections and violation corrections, the pattern of recurring heat/hot water complaints indicates an ongoing challenge with building systems maintenance.
