2079 Mohegan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The six-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building at 2079 Mohegan Avenue in West Farms, owned by Antonio Rodriguez, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, particularly regarding its elevator system and building maintenance. The most significant concern has been the elevator, with multiple complaints about "No Alternate Service" between 2021 and 2025, including seven such complaints in 2024 alone, some resulting in Environmental Control Board violations and penalties totaling $7,530.

The building has also faced recurring problems with building systems and maintenance, including multiple service requests for buzzer/intercom issues (most recently in 2025), heat and hot water problems in January 2025, and recent pest complaints in May 2025, though HPD inspections found no violations in the latter cases. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations related to door maintenance, particularly concerning compactor closet doors on the 3rd and 6th stories, plus a hopper door issue on the 4th story, all noted during a December 2024 inspection. While the building has experienced some rodent-related issues in inspections from 2021 to 2024, the most recent inspection in January 2025 passed.

Bedbug reports have been filed annually since 2021, but consistently show zero infested units. The building has maintained regular compliance with rodent control measures over recent inspections, though some inspections noted rat activity. The property's management has generally addressed violations and complaints, with many being certified as corrected, though some issues have required multiple complaints before resolution.
