1884 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1884 Arthur Avenue is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Valerie Torres. The building has experienced recurrent heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2023-2025 indicating building-wide problems, including four such complaints between April 1-3, 2025 alone.

While some of these complaints were duplicates of existing issues, they suggest an ongoing concern with the building's heating system. The building has also faced several electrical problems, with power outage complaints in April 2025 and a range appliance issue reported in December 2024. Significant building violations were documented in late 2024, particularly in apartment 2A, including issues with lead-based paint hazards and requirements for proper color painting of various walls, while apartment 4C had mold issues in the bathroom and apartment 1B had multiple safety concerns involving missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and bathroom doors.

There is an active ECB violation from October 2023 regarding unsupported window A/C units on the 4th and 5th floors, and multiple historical facade maintenance violations remain on record from 2020 concerning loose masonry stucco and pedestrian safety issues, though these appear to have no current balance due. The building has consistently passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in March 2025), and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years. The property has shown regular maintenance activity, as evidenced by multiple emergency work permits being issued between 2021-2024 for various repairs and improvements.
