264 West Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The 6-story, 18-unit property at 264 West Tremont Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Cedar Tremont Limited Partnership, is a New Law Tenement building constructed in 1908 that has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are active environmental control board (ECB) violations from 2024 related to scaffolding safety and documentation requirements, with proposed penalties totaling $37,500.

The building has also faced multiple housing maintenance code violations, particularly regarding unit 2C, including unresolved issues with water leaks, pest infestations, and various repairs needed for doors, windows, and ceiling surfaces. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained its bedbug-free status for the past four years, with no reported infestations since 2019. Recent complaints from 2025-2024 indicate ongoing issues with mold and ventilation problems (2025), multiple pest complaints (2024), and various maintenance concerns including water leaks and ceiling damage (2024).

The building's elevator system received inspection clearance in 2020, and several inspections related to safety and rodent control have shown compliance, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2016-2017. The property's exterior maintenance has been subject to multiple inspections and violations, including issues with sidewalk vault conditions that were reportedly resolved in 2019, and requirements for submitting critical examination reports that appear to be currently active. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2023 and 2024), the frequency and nature of the maintenance issues, particularly regarding unit 2C, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
