1162 Elder Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

Located in Soundview, 1162 Elder Avenue is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Shahjahan Ali. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns being a recurring mold problem in 2023, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations.

These mold-related incidents occurred in both January and February 2023, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) reportedly found no violations. The building has also faced recurring issues with pest control, including a verified roach infestation in apartment 1R in February 2023, though this violation was subsequently closed. The property has active violations related to bedbug report filings from 2019 through 2024, and several safety-related violations are still open, including requirements for proper gas leak and smoke detector notifications established in July 2019.

Compliance records show regular rodent inspections have been conducted and passed between 2016 and 2025, suggesting some success in addressing pest control matters. The building's maintenance history includes two attempts by inspectors to access the premises in 2019 and 2024 for gas and electrical wiring concerns, though access was denied both times. Multiple permits for electrical, plumbing, and equipment work have been issued between 2018 and 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, with the most recent permits issued in February 2023 for electrical and equipment work.
