1141 St Lawrence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1141 St. Lawrence Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1940 in the Soundview neighborhood, currently owned by 1141 St Lawrence Holding LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in 2022, including complaints about unsanitary conditions (mold), water leaks, flooring issues, and safety concerns related to carbon monoxide detectors, all of which required multiple HPD interventions.

The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with complaints in both January and November 2021 regarding either unit-specific or building-wide outages. The property currently has open violations from 2022 and 2023 related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, suggesting an ongoing compliance issue, and had multiple violations identified in July 2021 primarily affecting Apartment 1A, including problems with door hardware, safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), ceiling light fixtures, electrical outlets, and door self-closing mechanisms. Historical data indicates various infrastructure and safety concerns, including electrical wiring issues documented through a complaint in 2020, which resulted in an Oath violation.

The building's systems have been subject to both emergency and non-emergency inspections, with violations being issued for general safety equipment, pest control, and sanitation issues. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained compliance in rodent inspections as of 2022. While the property has passed most inspections related to pests and rodents since 2010, the persistence of safety equipment violations (including carbon monoxide and smoke detectors) and the recurring nature of heat and water issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The lack of access during multiple inspection attempts by HPD in 2022 for various complaints is also noteworthy, though some issues were subsequently addressed through Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations between 2021 and 2022.
