1735 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1735 Washington Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Claremont Village, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jorge Ayala. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2021, including violations related to flooring, window frames, and ceiling conditions. Apartment 7 has documented multiple violations from September 2021, including problems with bathroom tile flooring, window sashes, ceiling plaster and paint, roof leaks, and a noted cockroach infestation.

The building has also faced systemic issues, including a building-wide heat and hot water outage in December 2020. More recent violations indicate ongoing compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations from 2022-2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports. The building currently has several active violations related to external low pressure inspection filings for multiple years (2019-2023) as of September 2024, suggesting lapses in required maintenance documentation.

While rodent inspections from 2015-2025 consistently show passing results, the building's maintenance record indicates continued attention is needed to address various building system requirements. The property has a history of receiving 311 service requests, with most complaints resulting in HPD violations being issued. The relatively recent nature of the bedbug reporting violations and the multiple years of unfiled low pressure inspection violations suggest ongoing compliance issues, though the building has maintained passing rodent inspections over the years.
