1893 Andrews Avenue South, Bronx, NY 10453
The 6-story, 64-unit New Law Tenement building at 1893 Andrews Avenue South in Morris Heights, owned by Jay Newhouse and constructed in 1924, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is an active food contamination case as of June 2025, with recent food poisoning complaints and ongoing rodent activity that has required regular bait application throughout 2023-2025.
The building has a history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025, including a January 2025 emergency complaint that was not investigated due to lack of access. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2024, primarily affecting apartments 5H and 6A, including issues with bathroom tiles, kitchen cabinets, and a significant mold problem in 6A's bathroom. The building has also faced egress concerns, with a June 2023 violation regarding blocked fire escape windows in 6C, though this was officially dismissed.
Recent inspections have shown consistent rat activity, with the most recent inspections in April and June 2025 showing bait application and compliance issues. The building's management has had some difficulty in permitting inspections, as evidenced by closed complaints regarding water leaks and various maintenance issues where inspectors were unable to gain access. However, there have been some positive developments, including the resolution of several housing violations through certification in late 2024, and the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to all recent annual filings since 2019.
