1643 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
The 6-story, 58-unit New Law Tenement building at 1643 Nelson Avenue in Morris Heights, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by 1649 Nelsco LLC, has experienced ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges in recent years. Between October 2024 and November 2024, multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations were documented, with the most significant issues occurring in apartments 3B and 3D, including reports of roach infestations and an apparent mouse problem in 3B.
The building also faced various infrastructure and safety concerns, such as defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in unit 3D that were addressed in November 2024, along with violations regarding plumbing and electrical issues in apartment 3B. Recent inspections and violation reports indicate a pattern of maintenance challenges, including problematic garbage/recycling storage areas and general sanitary conditions noted by multiple agencies.
While the building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, an October 2024 inspection resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons." The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years, and there are no active illegal conversion complaints on record since 2023. The building's mechanical systems received some attention through permit issuances for electrical work in 2020 and 2021, though the specific nature of these improvements is not detailed in the available records.
