651 Crescent Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458
The 24-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 651 Crescent Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, built in 1913 and currently owned by Howard Alkoff, has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2024, with eight separate complaints filed through 311 between March and December 2024, including multiple emergency calls for lack of heat affecting the entire building. Other significant building maintenance concerns in 2024 included flooring issues, water leaks, mold, and interior maintenance needs, particularly in apartment 2C, where multiple violations were documented in July 2024 related to flooring tiles, plaster surfaces, gas supply, plumbing, and interior painting requirements.
The building has demonstrated a recurring pattern of bedbug infestations over recent years, with three documented cases between 2022 and 2024, though all were followed by successful eradication. While the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 showed no rat activity, a previous inspection in February 2025 had noted rat activity, marking the only such occurrence in inspections dating back to 2021.
The property has seen some structural modifications requiring attention, including a 2024 violation concerning an unauthorized metal gate installation in the first-story public hall. This historic building's complaint and violation history indicates ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly relating to the heating system and individual unit conditions, while also reflecting compliance efforts through the resolution of various violations and proper closure of completed repairs.
