1637 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
1637 Nelson Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Alaina Jamieson. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in recent years. Most notably, in January 2025, there was a building-wide heat and hot water emergency that resulted in HPD violations.
A cluster of complaints filed in November 2024 indicated multiple systemic issues, including unsanitary conditions, plumbing problems, and door/window defects, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints. The building has open violations from August 2024 affecting apartment 3A, including issues with pest infestations, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing problems, and maintenance concerns with plastered surfaces and windows. Additional concerns persist regarding building systems and safety compliance.
There are multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to unfiled Low Pressure Inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, and a failure to file the 2017 Boiler Inspection report. Though recent rodent inspections in 2025 and September 2024 passed, a rat activity notice was issued in June 2023, and an earlier compliance inspection failed for other reasons. The property's maintenance record shows a combination of urgent and non-urgent violations, with some issues remaining unaddressed for extended periods. These violations and service requests suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance with housing codes, particularly concerning basic utilities, pest control, and safety systems.
