794 Elsmere Place, Bronx, NY 10460

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 794 Elsmere Place in Tremont, owned by Harvey Arfa and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's recurring failure to file its required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, resulting in open Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code.

These repeated violations suggest consistent non-compliance with the city's bedbug reporting requirements, which are intended to protect tenant health and safety. Additionally, there is an outstanding Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, which remains active as of the last available data.

While the building has a historical rodent sighting complaint from 2018 that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, it's worth noting that all subsequent rodent inspections from 2015 through 2025 have passed, indicating successful pest management in this regard. Despite the building's long record of passing these inspections, the pattern of open violations related to bedbug reporting across multiple years, combined with the historical non-compliance with boiler inspection filing requirements, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining regulatory compliance in certain areas of building maintenance.
