1114 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1114 Stratford Avenue is a 39-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Irving Fleischman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed for both building-wide and apartment-specific problems, though many of these complaints were eventually closed with conditions being verified as corrected.

The most significant recent maintenance concerns center around water-related issues, including plumbing problems in 2024 and numerous heating system failures, particularly between late 2024 and early 2025. The building has also faced some physical maintenance challenges, with violations issued in late 2024 regarding flooring conditions, and multiple violations documented in late 2024 related to the first-floor apartment (1E), including issues with floor tiles, bathtub finish, water leaks, plaster surfaces, and mold. Earlier maintenance concerns from 2019-2021 included zoning issues and complaints about energy efficiency documentation that remain active, though these primarily relate to administrative compliance rather than direct resident impact.

The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pests, with bedbug reports for 2021-2025 showing no infested units recorded in any of the annual filings. While there were initial reports of rat activity in March-April 2019, all subsequent rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have passed, suggesting effective pest management has been implemented. Despite the building's age and ongoing maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and some physical deterioration, the consistent resolution of emergency heat/hot water complaints (albeit with recurrence) and the building's strong pest control record provide some indication of active management, though the pattern of repeated service requests suggests underlying infrastructure challenges remain.
