2391 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 27-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2391 Washington Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Alan Feurman, has experienced persistent pest-related challenges over the past two years. Most notably, there is currently an active rat infestation, with documented rat activity recorded in compliance inspections on June 23 and 18, 2025, following multiple similar incidents throughout 2024. The building has undergone several inspections and investigations in 2025, revealing various maintenance issues including flooring problems, unsanitary conditions, and multiple violations across different categories such as plumbing, wall maintenance, and pest control.

A significant number of violations were issued in May 2025 alone, including issues with doors/windows, walls, and plumbing fixtures. The property has also faced challenges with its bedbug reporting compliance, with multiple annual filings required by HPD regulations. Historical data from the building shows a pattern of maintenance concerns, with violations dating back to 2019 related to specific apartment issues in Unit 2, including problems with windows, doors, and water leaks.

More recent building-wide concerns include a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2022 External Low-Pressure Inspection, which remains active as of April 2023. The building has undergone numerous inspections and received various violation notices from both HPD and DOB since 2020, including multiple violations classified as "A" and "B" severity levels. While the property has had numerous violation resolutions, the recurring nature of pest-related issues and the recent concentration of maintenance complaints in 2025 suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and compliance. The most recent documented bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) indicates no active infestation, though this follows several years of required annual reporting under HPD regulations.
