1444 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The five-story New Law Tenement at 1444 Shakespeare Avenue in Mount Eden, built in 1923 and containing 37 units, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems emerging in 2025. Recent complaints from June 2025 revealed violations related to flooring/stairs, plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and basin/sink), cabinet problems, and mold, with multiple complaints being labeled as "Unsanitary Condition." The building has shown recurring pest issues, with a violation for rodent infestation documented in late 2024.
Safety concerns have also been noted, particularly in apartment 33, which has open violations from late 2024 regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, damaged floor tiles, and various repair needs. The building's maintenance history reveals patterns of problems, including electrical issues (outlets/switches), plumbing problems, and unsanitary conditions (including mold) throughout 2024-2025. The property has faced structural concerns, with two complaints about building vibration in August 2024, though access for inspection was not granted in one case.
Previous years had multiple bedbug infestations from 2017-2021, though recent filings (2022-2024) show no reported cases. The building has also experienced issues with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding loose bricks and mortar at the first story level. Despite these ongoing issues, there have been recent inspections showing some compliance with rodent inspections passing periodically, though initial inspections often indicate rat activity.
