1154 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The 1154 Ward Avenue building, a 6-story New Law tenement constructed in 1929, has experienced significant heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with a total of 10 documented complaints between January and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some complaints were resolved quickly, others required multiple follow-ups and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
Additional concerns include recent violations related to building safety systems, with a 2024 inspection of apartment 6L revealing missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and a 2023 violation noting a broken vestibule door glass lite in the public hall. The building has demonstrated variable maintenance patterns regarding safety equipment, with past violations for defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in various units between 2021 and 2024. A significant Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in October 2020 concerning the boiler system, citing multiple safety concerns including a defective smoke alarm and exposed electrical components, though this was resolved with a penalty imposed.
Water-related infrastructure appears to require ongoing attention, with some complaints suggesting persistent heating system problems. The building has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, though recent filings from 2023-2024 indicate minimal current activity, and rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025 have generally shown passing results with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2020. The property has two active Department of Buildings violations as of 2024 regarding failure to submit required energy efficiency documentation.
