1735 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The 6-story residential building at 1735 Davidson Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by 1735 Davidson LLC, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues, most notably with heating and hot water systems. In May 2025 alone, there were multiple tenant complaints about building-wide heat and hot water failures, requiring multiple inspections and resulting in violations. The building, which contains 18 units and was constructed in 1928, has a documented history of infrastructure challenges, including frequent elevator service problems, electrical issues, and pest infestations.

Recent inspections in 2024-2025 revealed ongoing rodent activity, with bait application records from multiple inspections, and there were substantial violations documented in apartment 3A regarding mold, pests, and electrical systems. The property has also experienced recurring issues with unauthorized work, as evidenced by several Work Without a Permit complaints between 2020-2024, though inspections did not result in violations. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, including an extended period of heating system failures in 2025, various electrical problems documented in 2024, and multiple pest infestations including bedbugs and rodent activity.

Though some violations have been resolved through correction notices and repairs, such as those issued in December 2024 concerning mold, pests, and electrical systems, the frequency of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property owner has received several ECB violations related to elevator service and building maintenance between 2018-2022, with penalties issued for various infractions. Regular rodent control measures, documented through multiple bait application inspections, indicate ongoing pest management efforts. The building's age and history suggest ongoing challenges typical of New York's older construction, requiring regular maintenance and prompt attention to tenant complaints.
