1912 Loring Place South, Bronx, NY 10453

This five-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building at 1912 Loring Place South in University Heights, built in 1915 and currently owned by David Greenberg, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring electrical problems, with documented power outages in 2019 and two incidents in August 2021, though no violations were issued following investigations by the Housing Preservation and Development department.

A concerning pattern of emergency maintenance complaints emerged in 2019, including issues with electrical outlets, windows, flooring, doors, and mold. More recently, in 2023, the building faced an Environmental Control Board violation regarding improperly supported window A/C units on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors, resulting in a $250 penalty. The building has demonstrated an inconsistent record regarding safety features, with a sprinkler system inspection complaint filed in August 2021 that was subsequently closed without violations.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (with the last recorded incident in 2018), and the most recent rodent inspections from 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2019 all passed, there was one inspection in 2017 that documented rat activity. The building's owner has addressed various maintenance issues over time, as evidenced by multiple permits issued in 2018 and 2019 for plumbing and electrical work. Recent health department involvement in 2025 regarding smoking in a smoke-free area suggests ongoing challenges with tenant compliance to building policies.
