1436 Clay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
1436 Clay Avenue is a 6-story, 49-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Joseph Friedman and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple open complaints filed in June 2025 regarding plumbing problems (including toilets and sinks), door issues, and wall defects. The building faced repeated heat and hot water system failures in early 2025, with multiple complaints between February and March 2025, although these issues seemed to have been resolved, at least temporarily.
Previous violations from late 2024 included serious facade maintenance concerns, with a partial vacate order issued for the courtyards due to hazardous conditions such as bulging masonry, cracked and spalling bricks, and deteriorated window lintels. The building has also been subject to various Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding facade maintenance, elevator operation, and other infrastructure issues between 2020 and 2024, with some violations remaining active as of late 2024. Recent rodent inspections show a mixed picture of pest control efforts, with several bait applications occurring throughout 2024 and the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulting in a "Failed for Other Reasons" designation.
The building's history also includes a bedbug incident report from 2021-2022 showing two affected units, though subsequent reports for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 indicate no further infestations. The property has been actively managing maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple work orders and inspections, though many recent complaints remain unresolved as of mid-2025. The building's management has addressed some serious safety concerns in the past, including the installation of new door security systems and repairs to various building systems, but the persistence of recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
