1123 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The four-unit, two-story New Law Tenement at 1123 Croes Avenue in Soundview, currently owned by Harry Ramjatan, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly regarding heating systems and water-related problems. Most recently, in 2024 and late 2023, there were two separate emergency heat/hot water complaints within approximately three months of each other, both of which were resolved following HPD inspections. During 2022, multiple serious issues were reported, including plumbing problems in bathrooms, unsanitary mold conditions, water leaks, and a fire escape safety concern, though HPD was unable to gain access to conduct inspections in these cases.

The building has also faced consistent heating system challenges, with three heat/hot water complaints filed between 2022 and 2024. The property has open Housing Maintenance Code Violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting compliance, while previous years (2018) indicate multiple violations related to missing safety signage and building system information postings. There were several building-related complaints between 2018-2021 concerning potential illegal conversions and modifications, including unauthorized construction work at the cellar level, though inspections often resulted in access denials.

In terms of pest control, the building has successfully passed rodent inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022, though there was one failed inspection in 2017. The bedbug reporting records for 2019-2021 indicate no confirmed infestations during the reporting periods. The most recent building permit issued was in October 2020 for exterior work.
