1113 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1113 Ward Avenue, a 51-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1927, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2023 and 2024. The building has faced recurring problems with pests, including a confirmed bedbug infestation in apartment 5K in 2024, along with multiple pest-related complaints during 2024. Water-related issues were also notable, with several complaints about leaks (both heavy and slow) and molds reported in October 2023.

The property has active violations from 2022 related to lead-based paint hazards in apartment 4E and various maintenance issues in public areas, though some previously noted violations have been resolved. The building's systems have experienced multiple 311 complaints and HPD inspections, including recent plumbing issues in late 2024. While there have been rodent activity reports in the past, recent inspections in 2025 showed compliance with rodent control requirements.

The property has had some administrative challenges with building regulations, including recent violations related to energy efficiency documentation (active violations from 2021 and 2023 for failure to file required reports) and an open violation from 2023 regarding public hall maintenance. The Department of Buildings records show consistent maintenance and regulatory compliance efforts, with multiple permit issuances between 2018-2020 for plumbing and electrical work, though specific details on the nature of these repairs are not provided in the available data. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most significant concerns being related to pest control, water damage, and lead paint hazards. The current ownership, 1111 Ward LLC, has engaged with various repair requests and inspections through City agencies, though some recent complaints have been closed due to inability to gain access for inspection or lack of timely follow-up from residents.
