1879 Clinton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
The 30-unit, 6-story building at 1879 Clinton Avenue in Tremont, owned by Valerie Torres and built in 1937, has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most recently, in 2025, there have been multiple plumbing-related complaints (sinks and bathtubs/showers), unsanitary conditions (pests), and issues with walls and floors, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergencies reported in June 2025 and earlier incidents in January and November 2024 affecting the entire building. Inspection records from September 2023 revealed multiple open violations in apartment 4A, including problems with kitchen flooring, window balance, ceiling/wall paint requirements, and a roach infestation.
Building-wide safety concerns have emerged, with violations documented for elevator service issues throughout late 2023, and a 2023 inspection identified multiple fire escape repair needs. The property has also faced challenges with building systems, as indicated by multiple Heating and Plumbing complaints, though most were closed without violations. Environmental Control Board violations related to elevator maintenance and fire safety have been noted, with some active penalties. On a positive note, the building has maintained zero bedbug infestations according to recent reports, and rat activity appears to be under control based on Rodent Inspections in 2024-2025.
The building's records show consistent activity regarding maintenance and safety regulations, with multiple permits issued between 2021-2025 for various repair and maintenance work. Recent 2024 violations indicate non-compliance with energy benchmarking and efficiency reporting requirements, which remains an open issue. While many service requests have been addressed through inspections and permits, the recurring nature of some issues, particularly regarding heating, plumbing, and elevator service, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building experienced construction-related violations in 2022-2023 regarding safety and documentation for sidewalk shed equipment, though these were resolved.
