1154 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 59-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1154 Stratford Avenue in Soundview, owned by Keyoumars Keypour and constructed in 1928, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in May 2025, there were complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, which were resolved after HPD intervention. Between March and April 2025, multiple service requests were made regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, as well as issues with doors, plumbing, and flooring.

The building has also faced security concerns, with violations in 2024 related to defective locks at the building entrance and missing self-closing doors in the public hall. Several complaints between 2019-2021 were documented regarding illegal gas hook-ups, possible illegal conversions, and work done without proper permits, though inspections did not reveal any violations at the time. Recent inspections have shown persistent rodent activity, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2022 and 2025, though some inspections passed without any reported issues.

The building's maintenance history includes several categories of violations, particularly in 2024 when multiple health and safety issues were identified in Apartment 2H, including missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a pest infestation. While the building has shown compliance in addressing many violations, including cleaning floors and repairing damaged door frames, recurring issues with pests and security appears to be an ongoing concern. The building remains under active violations for not displaying required energy efficiency scores as of 2024.
