1485 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The 6-story New Law Tenement at 1485 Nelson Avenue in Mount Eden, built in 1932 and currently owned by Kobina Arhin, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past three years, with 11 documented complaints between 2021 and 2024. The most recent complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage was filed in July 2024, and there have been consistent heating system problems, particularly in winter months, with complaints spanning from entire building outages to apartment-specific issues.
The building has undergone several important safety and maintenance updates, including the installation of new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment V5C in late 2024, though previous violations for lead-based paint and various code compliance issues have been documented and subsequently addressed. The property has maintained an active record of monitoring and addressing pest control issues, with regular inspections showing no current infestations of bedbugs or significant rodent problems, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025.
Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations have been recorded and resolved, including safety-related issues such as defective doors and fire safety concerns in public areas. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, as evidenced by the consistent "Closed" status of most issues, though some patterns of repeated heating problems suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed successfully, continuing the trend of effective pest management in recent years.
