1652 Popham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
1652 Popham Avenue, a 6-story, 48-unit New Law tenement built in 1928, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in April 2025, there were two emergency heat/hot water complaints, and throughout 2024-2025, multiple similar complaints were documented, though some were found not to violate housing laws upon inspection. The building has also faced various structural and safety concerns, as evidenced by violations issued in 2024 for self-closing door issues on multiple floors, and in late 2022, there was notable water damage affecting bathroom ceilings in apartments 1C, 2C, and 3C.
Elevator service has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints between 2020-2024 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," though inspections often found no violations. The property has shown variable pest control effectiveness, with rodent inspection results between 2019-2025 showing both passing and failing inspections, and the most recent inspection in May 2025 passed. The building's violation history reveals attention to safety protocols, with inspections noting the need for proper door functions and emergency preparedness signage.
Multiple complaints about cooking gas, flooring, and general maintenance issues were recorded in late 2024, though inspections typically found these complaints did not violate housing laws. The property management appears to address violations when cited, with penalties imposed on elevator system issues being resolved, and a consistent pattern of responding to heat system complaints. Bedbug reporting from 2019-2024 shows mostly zero infestations, with only one reported incident in 2021. Regularly scheduled permits for plumbing and other maintenance work have been issued and properly followed through, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain building systems and address resident concerns.
