1390 Franklin Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The five-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building at 1390 Franklin Avenue in Morrisania, owned by Ramiro Velez, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2023-2024, there were multiple heating and hot water-related complaints, including a November 2023 emergency situation and associated Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the building entrance door and locking assembly in August 2023.
The building has faced recurring issues with animal-related concerns, with multiple Department of Health inspections in 2023-2025 regarding cat-related complaints, though only one of these inspections led to a violation being issued (a mice infestation in Apartment 3A in June 2023). The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and inspected issues between 2021 and 2023, including a broken window guard (June 2023), and multiple door/window-related complaints from late 2021 that required multiple inspection attempts.
There were also historical concerns about water supply issues, plumbing problems, and various infrastructure needs documented between 2021-2023. Despite these challenges, the building has shown some recent improvements, with successful rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, and a clean record for bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025). The Department of Buildings records from 2018-2019 show multiple permits issued for work on the property, including exterior and plumbing-related projects, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts by the ownership.
