1413 Fulton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 32-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1413 Fulton Avenue in Claremont Village has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being multiple heat and hot water complaints in June 2025 that prompted inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including an October 2024 batch of complaints related to unsanitary conditions (including mold), various plumbing and cabinet issues, and safety concerns that HPD was unable to fully inspect.

These complaints were followed by violations issued in November 2024 for Apartment 3C, including problems with gas supply, painting requirements, plaster surfaces, bathroom caulking, carbon monoxide detection, cabinet repair needs, floor tile issues, and smoke detector requirements, though most of these were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building's recent history shows an improved situation regarding pest control, with zero reported bedbug incidents between 2019 and 2024, and rodent inspections since 2015 have generally resulted in passed inspections, though there were some recorded rat activity in 2015 and 2017.

The property has active violations regarding the display of energy efficiency scores and grades, with issues noted in both April and December 2021. While there have been numerous service requests and complaints over the years, the consistent pattern of inspection attempts and subsequent certifications suggests some level of responsiveness to maintenance issues, though access problems have sometimes hindered full inspections. The building's age (built in 1926) and the variety of maintenance issues reported throughout the years indicate ongoing challenges typical of older residential buildings in New York City.
