2318 Loring Place North, Bronx, NY 10468

The 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2318 Loring Place North in University Heights, owned by Rick Herman, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, which was resolved through HPD intervention. In late 2024, significant concerns were documented, including flooring issues (both in September and August), the presence of mold, and multiple reports of pests, with several violations issued by HPD.

Specifically problematic was Apartment 1D, which received multiple violation notices in September 2024 for various issues including pest infestations (roaches and mice), electrical wiring problems, and damaged flooring and tiles. The building has also shown persistent pest and sanitation issues, with multiple emergency complaints regarding pest infestations throughout 2024, and a recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicating one infested unit. Water-related problems were noted in August 2024, including leaks and painting/plaster issues, with violations issued. The property's maintenance history reveals a pattern of compliance and inspection challenges, particularly regarding pests and sanitation conditions.

While some violations have been resolved and certified, notably including pest abatement in multiple apartments, several violations remain open as of the latest inspections. The building's rodent inspection results show a mix of both passed and failed inspections over the past years, with rat activity noted in some inspections between 2021 and 2024. Three building permits were issued between 2020 and 2021 for unspecified work, but the details do not indicate emergency or major repairs. The building's age (constructed in 1915) and status as a New Law Tenement suggest it is subject to specific regulatory requirements, and the pattern of recent complaints indicates ongoing maintenance challenges that require continued monitoring.
