1386 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
1386 Nelson Avenue is a 31-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building located in Mount Eden and built in 1927, currently owned by Luis Acosta. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented complaints in early 2025, and previous similar complaints in 2018 and 2024, though some of these were resolved promptly with heat and hot water restoration. The property has faced multiple maintenance challenges, including water leaks and mold problems in 2024, with violations issued in August 2024 related to damp spots.
December 2024 saw the issuance of several serious violations in apartment 4C regarding missing or defective safety equipment, including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards, along with a noted mold condition in the bathroom. Apartment 3D was documented in August 2024 as experiencing pest infestations (mice and roaches) and water damage to the kitchen sink cabinet. The building has a history of safety concerns, including a violation in August 2024 regarding an obstructed fire escape.
Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with rat activity noted in June 2025 and August 2024, though previous inspections in 2023 and 2024 had passed. An Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 remains active regarding non-conforming work related to construction documents, with a penalty of $6,250 imposed. The building's recent maintenance history shows some improvements, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and most housing maintenance code violations from 2024-2025 have been closed. However, the recurring nature of heat and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and upkeep.
