1916 Loring Place South, Bronx, NY 10453

This 11-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1916 Loring Place South in University Heights, built in 1915 and owned by Francisco Montenegro, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. Most recently, in late 2023, there was a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, which HPD could not verify due to access issues. Similar heat-related complaints were documented in 2021 (three separate incidents in October and March) and in 2018-2019, though many of these were resolved with reports of restored services.

The building has also faced other significant maintenance challenges, including a heavy water leak (September 2021), multiple heat system complaints, and various interior maintenance issues such as paint/plaster problems. More recently, in October 2023, the building received a violation regarding an improperly supported window A/C unit on the 5th floor, resulting in a $250 penalty. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with several failed inspections in 2023-2024 indicating rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed.

The property has demonstrated effective pest management in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported between 2019 and 2024. While the building has had various violations and maintenance issues over the years, including concerns with doors, windows, and plumbing systems, most violations have been promptly addressed and closed, as evidenced by the numerous "certified" dates indicating resolution. The most recent records suggest some improvement in overall building conditions, with fewer major violations reported in the past two years compared to earlier periods.
