2089 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 55-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 2089 Arthur Avenue in Tremont, owned by Consolato Cicciu and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years, with seven heat/hot water complaints received between July 2024 and January 2025. Each of these complaints was marked as "Entire Building" and classified as emergency situations, though inspections typically revealed that heat and hot water had been restored by the time of the inspection.

The building also underwent multiple inspections in 2024-2025 which revealed several maintenance issues, including fire safety concerns such as defective fire retardant materials, a protruding A/C unit obstructing fire escape egress, and multiple repairs needed including roof leaks and stairwell wall painting requirements. Recent health and safety inspections have addressed various concerns, including a sewage odor complaint in July 2024 and multiple complaints regarding smoking/vaping violations in 2024, though the building has maintained a pest-free record with no bedbug infestations reported since at least 2020.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 noted elevator communication issues and missing fire safety signage, and documentation shows persistent rodent activity with multiple baiting interventions between February and June 2025, though earlier inspections had shown "Passed" results for rodent control. The property has generally resolved housing maintenance code violations promptly, with most recent violations being certified as corrected between June and August 2024, though some safety concerns related to fire escape access and door mechanisms were noted in previous years.
