2505 Hoffman Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The 5-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building at 2505 Hoffman Street in Belmont, owned by Steven Kashanian, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between late 2024 and early 2025. The building has documented multiple heating and water-related problems, with at least seven separate complaints about water leaks (both slow and heavy flow) and heating/hot water issues during this period, some of which resulted in HPD violations. More recently, in March 2025, there were complaints about electrical wiring defects that led to violation notices.

The building has undergone significant maintenance work over the past year, with several violations certified as corrected between late 2024 and early 2025. These included repairs to the fire escape system, public hall stairs, and various safety features like window guards. In early 2024, violations were issued regarding construction activities and dust control, including a $12,500 penalty for allowing tenants to occupy the building during active construction.

However, despite these ongoing issues, the building has maintained a generally good record with rodent inspections, passing all inspections during 2023-2025, though there was one failed inspection in April 2023. The building also has a clean record for bedbugs, with zero reported infestation cases in the past several years. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly with water systems and building safety features, recent records show that many violations have been addressed and corrected through proper channels.
