1765 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The five-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement building at 1765 Davidson Avenue, owned by Martin Kirzner and located in the Morris Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, between April and June 2025, there were multiple service requests and violations related to housing conditions, including problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, a water leak with heavy flow, issues with cabinets, and multiple power outages. In August 2024, significant violations were documented in apartment B5, including problems with leaky faucets, water damage to ceilings, broken doorbell, and defects in plastered surfaces and paint.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns with basic systems, including multiple electrical power outage complaints, plumbing issues, and problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom systems. Environmental concerns have also been documented, including a mold issue reported in April 2025 that could not be inspected at the time. The building's fire escape system was cited in a 2020 violation for improper maintenance.

While there have been various rodent inspection results, showing both passed and failed inspections between 2019 and 2025, the property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods, from 2018 through 2024. More recent rodent inspections in early 2025 passed, though a failed result was recorded in September 2024. The building's current status shows an active violation related to energy efficiency score display requirements as of December 2024, while previous violations regarding building systems and safety features have mostly been resolved.
