4726 Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The five-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement at 4726 Park Avenue in Belmont, built in 1914 and currently owned by Gabriel Grunblatt, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January 2023 and January 2025, though these have typically been resolved through HPD inspections or corrections. Water-related issues have been persistent, with both slow and heavy leak complaints filed in 2023-2024, affecting units 1A and 2A, and resulting in Class A and B violations requiring repairs to various plumbing fixtures.

The building has also faced challenges with construction-related concerns, including two active lead dust complaints in 2024, one of which pertains to both common areas and apartments. Additional maintenance issues have emerged periodically, including unsanitary conditions regarding garbage and recycling storage in common areas (2023-2024) and rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing both rat activity and successful compliance passes. The building's safety infrastructure has required attention, as evidenced by violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in unit 1A in early 2023.

A concerning series of complaints about building shaking and structural stability was recorded in 2021, though inspections did not warrant any violations. The property's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no infestations, and the most recent inspection records indicate regular compliance with rodent control measures, though there are occasional detections of rat activity. Three units were found to have various maintenance issues requiring repairs in the 2024-2025 period, including violations related to water leaks, defective faucets, and plastered surfaces.
