2382 Bathgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The four-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building at 2382 Bathgate Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Thomas McGovern, has shown generally responsible maintenance over recent years, though with some noteworthy incidents. The most recent significant event occurred in July 2023, when a refrigerator-related complaint was filed and subsequently inspected by HPD, though no violations were found. Between April and May 2020, there were multiple related issues including ceiling paint/plaster concerns, water leaks, and mold problems, all of which were investigated by HPD without violations being issued. An emergency heat and hot water complaint for the entire building was resolved in November 2018.

The building has been diligent in its bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the last four consecutive annual filings from 2020 to 2024, though there was one instance in 2019 which was promptly addressed. The property faced some administrative oversights in 2023, receiving violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2022, though these violations were dismissed by November 2023. An annual bedbug report violation was issued in April 2024, though the filing from that same month showed no infested units. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025 generally passing, except for one instance in August 2021 which noted rat activity.

The property has had three instances of heat-related issues since 2018, including a building-wide complaint in 2018 and recent violations in 2023. The building's history suggests generally responsive management to tenant complaints when violations are documented, with prompt resolutions to most reported issues. The regular rodent inspection pass rate of 100% in recent years, following a noted rat activity incident in 2021, indicates improved pest management. Notably, while there have been various maintenance issues reported through 311 complaints, most have been resolved without violations being issued, suggesting proactive management engagement with HPD requirements.
