1815 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1815 Prospect Avenue is a 5-story, 45-unit residential building located in Tremont, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Carol Robinson. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with the most recent concern being an active Department of Health complaint about construction lead dust in common areas and apartments as of January 2025.

The building has documented multiple violations and repair needs, particularly during June 2023 when several issues were identified including problems with the fire escape, water leakage (heavy flow), door and window frames, flooring, and interior wall conditions - all of which resulted in specific violations. Subsequent inspections in late 2023 and 2024 revealed recurring issues with the intercom/buzzer system, and various interior maintenance needs including electrical outlets/switches, window/door frames, and paint/plaster work on walls, ceilings, and windows - notably during June 2024 when multiple non-emergency complaints were filed and subsequently resolved.

Additional historical data shows a significant active violation related to energy efficiency display requirements issued in December 2022, which remains unresolved as of now. Fortunately, the building's bedbug reporting record for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 indicates no infestations, eradications, or re-infestations, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the building has encountered numerous maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that most complaints have been addressed and closed through appropriate inspections, though some violations remain open and a few issues have required multiple reporting before resolution.
