1935 Andrews Avenue South, Bronx, NY 10453

Located in University Heights, 1935 Andrews Avenue South is a 5-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Zef Perpepaj. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between March and May 2025, though most were resolved quickly (often within 24 hours) with heat and hot water being restored during inspections. The property has demonstrated some electrical infrastructure challenges, with two lighting-related complaints in March 2025, one of which was classified as a non-emergency.

Other notable incidents include a heavy water leak investigation in April 2024 that resulted in no violations, and a smoking-related complaint in 2024 that was addressed by the Department of Health. The building underwent a significant inspection in April 2024, revealing several violations primarily centered around apartment 5C, including issues with unsafe electrical wiring, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and non-functional safety equipment (smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector). Additional building-wide violations were noted regarding fire escape maintenance and vestibule door hardware.

More recently, a rodent inspection in July 2025 resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons," which may warrant further investigation. The building's history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no recorded infestations between 2020 and 2024. Previous complaints to the Department of Buildings include a 2024 investigation into possible illegal commercial use (resulting in no violation) and a 2021 gas utility referral (followed by an inspector's inability to gain access).
