1821 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1821 Davidson Avenue is a 55-unit, 5-story tenement building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Pierre Downing. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water supply, particularly evident in the first half of 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and May 2025 affecting the entire building and individual apartments.

During these incidents, tenants reported problems with no heat or hot water, though inspections typically found these issues resolved by the time of inspection. Additionally, there was a slow water leak reported in April 2025, though no violations were issued following the inspection. The building has undergone several maintenance issues and repairs in recent years, with notable violations including a pest infestation (cockroaches) in Apartment 3A in February 2024, which was subsequently addressed, and various repair needs in Apartment 5D documented in May 2024, including issues with the intercommunication system and plastered surfaces.

In September 2023, a violation was recorded regarding a key-operated lock at the fire escape entrance in Apartment 5G, and in early 2018, there were boiler room maintenance issues addressed through an Environmental Control Board violation. The property has maintained a generally good record with rodent inspections, passing all but one initial inspection in 2021, and has shown no evidence of bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods. The building classifies as a "New Law Tenement" and appears to have complied with local law audits as recently as 2020, with multiple permits issued for various building work between 2018-2021.
