1760 Anthony Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1760 Anthony Avenue is a 2-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Craig Livingston. The property has experienced several significant structural and maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to the building's stability. In 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding structural instability, leading to a Full Vacate Order on January 29, 2024, and subsequent violations noting that the rear of the building was structurally unstable with potential for collapse. As of August 2024, there is an active $12,500 violation regarding failure to comply with an order concerning the building's structure.

These stability concerns appear to be linked to problems with the retaining wall at the rear of the property, which was reported as collapsed and unsafe. The building has also faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in early 2021, when multiple heat and hot water outages were reported, along with issues related to mold, plumbing, and water leaks. These complaints resulted in several violations, though many were later closed. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest issues, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, and rodent inspections have consistently shown passing results since 2022, with only one failure noted in November 2022.

The building's historical records dating back to the 2020s show repeated inspections and some unresolved violations from 2020-2023, including issues with paint, plaster, and sanitary conditions, particularly affecting Apartment 1B. Most recently, in May 2025, the building underwent rodent inspections that resulted in passing grades, indicating improved pest management. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent declaration of zero infested units from 2021 to present. While the building has resolved many of its maintenance issues over time, the persistent structural concerns and their implications for building stability remain the most serious ongoing challenge for this property.
