1917 Andrews Avenue South, Bronx, NY 10453
The 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1917 Andrews Avenue South in University Heights, owned by Rick Herman, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues in recent months. Throughout late 2024 and into 2025, there were multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, with at least six emergency complaints filed through 311 between December 2024 and January 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
While some of these complaints were resolved promptly, others required multiple reports before confirmation of correction. The building has faced several maintenance challenges over the past two years. In April 2023, violations were issued for both pest infestations (mice and roaches) and flooring issues in Apartment 1N, along with various maintenance problems in Apartment 4N related to kitchen fixtures.
More recently, in October 2023, a violation was issued regarding improperly supported window A/C units on the 2nd and 4th floors, with a penalty of $500 that remains active. The building's rodent inspections have shown generally positive results, with passing marks in previous years, though there was a failure noted in July 2025 for unspecified reasons. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bed bug infestations, as evidenced by regular reporting between 2020 and 2024 showing zero infested units in all reporting periods.
