1137 St Lawrence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1137 St Lawrence Avenue is a 2-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Ek Jordon Properties Llc. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around pest infestations, including multiple reports of rat activity between 2017 and 2023, and a significant rodent violation in December 2020 affecting apartment 2R.

The property has numerous open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024, and a series of maintenance issues in early 2024 that included heat/hot water problems, electrical outages, plumbing concerns, unsanitary conditions, and gas-related issues - though most of these complaints were addressed without violations being issued. A mouse sighting was reported in June 2023 by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and there have been several pest-related complaints over the years, with the most recent in March 2024 showing multiple issues with both electrical and plumbing systems.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges including peeling paint in common areas and on the south fire escape, as well as window guard compliance issues in apartment 2R, which were documented in December 2020 violations. The property's condition suggests an ongoing need for attention to basic infrastructure and pest management systems, with particular focus required on maintaining compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and addressing rodent activity consistently documented over the past several years.
