2277 Andrews Avenue North, Bronx, NY 10468

At 2277 Andrews Avenue North, a 49-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1927 located in University Heights, the most pressing current issues involve persistent elevator service problems, with active complaints dating from January and June 2025 regarding single-device elevator service with no alternate backup. The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2025, including multiple emergency situations involving unsanitary conditions, particularly mold and pest infestations, as well as paint and plaster issues affecting various units.

A cluster of housing maintenance code violations were documented in December 2024, primarily affecting apartment 6B, including problems with plaster surfaces, bathroom fixtures, and window issues, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by early 2025. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 highlight ongoing building maintenance concerns, including disrepair of bulkheads in staircases A and B, and excessive water leaks affecting unit 6D.

The building's historical maintenance record shows a pattern of exterior facade issues being documented repeatedly from 2018 through 2020, with problems cited including damaged coping stones, spalled mortar joints, and cracked masonry. While there have been some rodent and pest management challenges noted through regular inspections between 2019 and 2024, recent bedbug reports indicate no infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), suggesting improved management of this specific issue. The building's current active complaints and violations suggest continued challenges with basic building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding elevator service and water-related issues, while some historical facade problems appear to have received more consistent attention in recent years.
