1485 Fulton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 6-story, 44-unit New Law Tenement building at 1485 Fulton Avenue in Claremont Village, built in 1931 and currently owned by Adam Weinstein, has experienced several recent maintenance issues requiring attention. As of June 2025, there are multiple open housing complaints logged with HPD regarding various conditions, including problems with floors, cabinets, radiators, and ongoing pest issues. These complaints follow a pattern of maintenance challenges observed in the past, including a significant rodent infestation documented in May 2024 in apartment 2I. The building has demonstrated recurring pest control challenges, though there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years.

Previous violations from 2024 indicated various maintenance issues in apartment 3A (including problems with walls, windows, and fire gate) and common areas, though these were subsequently certified as closed. The property has undergone several inspections and faced multiple housing maintenance code violations in recent years, including issues with self-closing doors, fire escape obstructions, and the need for proper painting and plaster repairs. While earlier rodent inspections showed a mixed pattern of compliance (with some failures for "Other Reasons"), recent inspections in 2021 and 2022 passed. Historical records show the building's management has made efforts to address violations when cited, as evidenced by the closure of numerous past violations.

Notably, there were two violations related to displaying energy efficiency scores (from 2021) that were dismissed in 2024. The most recent plumbing and window complaints from May 2025 were closed following inspection, though some new complaints have recently been filed in June 2025 regarding various apartment conditions, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's bedbug monitoring records from 2019 to 2024 show no infestations since 2020, though rodent issues have persisted intermittently. The building's maintenance history indicates periodic attention to various apartment needs, with multiple violations addressed through repairs or inspections. While recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance issues, particularly regarding flooring, cabinets, and pest control, the building has shown some improvement in addressing certain types of violations over time, as evidenced by the closure of multiple historical violations.
