413 St Lawrence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The three-family house at 413 St. Lawrence Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Reynaldo De La Cruz, has experienced numerous maintenance issues throughout 2023. Most notably, there have been persistent heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between May and September 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

The building has also faced rodent-related problems in recent months, with reported rat and mouse sightings in October 2023, one of which resulted in confirmed violations requiring follow-up inspections. Other maintenance issues included a slow water leak reported in May 2023 and appliance concerns regarding the electric/gas range between May and September 2023. The building's history reveals more structural concerns, including vibration-related complaints in 2022 that resulted in partial vacate orders and the issuance of an immediately hazardous violation in May 2022 regarding failure to certify corrections.

Three residential 7R inspection complaints were filed in June 2022, though their specific nature is not detailed in the records. Several Department of Buildings inspections in 2023 (in June, August, and November) faced access issues, with inspectors reportedly unable to enter the premises on multiple occasions to verify the conditions. While some earlier complaints were determined to have no violations warranting citation, the pattern of repeated service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
