1476 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The 31-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 1476 Shakespeare Avenue in Mount Eden, built in 1924, has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water affecting the entire building in 2023 and 2024, including a recent complaint in February 2025 that required HPD intervention. The building has also faced challenges with plumbing systems, including multiple urgent plumbing issues reported in January 2025, and documented water leak problems in 2023.
There have been several violations related to fire safety systems, particularly concerning self-closing doors, with violations issued in 2024 regarding defective fire doors in the public hallways. A significant safety concern was addressed in 2024 with the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in apartment OC. The property has undergone various inspections in recent years, revealing persistent issues with pests, including rodent activity as recently as 2025, though some inspections have passed.
There are multiple open violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2023 to 2024, which may indicate oversight in building maintenance requirements. The building's elevator systems have been a recurring focus, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2022 and 2023, including a Class 1 violation for defective equipment in June 2023 that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. While the building has maintained an active pest management program with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, the presence of rats and other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
