1245 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The 73-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1245 Stratford Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Thomas Steiner and dating from 1928, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is an active cracked facade masonry issue at the southeast corner (as of January 2025), ongoing elevator service problems including an active complaint from March 2025 regarding a single device with no alternate service, and persistent plumbing and water issues. The building has had multiple heating and hot water complaints in early 2025, including violations in June 2025 related to doors and windows.
There are also current open violations regarding unsanitary conditions including mold (from June 2025) and a toilet issue. The fourth-floor Apartment D2 has multiple historical violations from a December 2024 inspection, including issues with paint, plaster, water leaks, and concerns about lead-based paint hazards. Rodent activity has been consistently documented through 2024-2025, with multiple baiting operations and inspections showing rat activity.
The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations and complaints over the past few years, including issues with water in the pit, non-working phone systems, and other maintenance problems. While bedbug reports have shown no infestations in the most recent filings (2024-2025), the building has a documented history of various maintenance issues requiring attention, with several violations still requiring resolution as of 2025. The building's management has faced multiple challenges in addressing these issues, as evidenced by numerous complaints regarding access for inspections and consistent patterns of violations requiring correction.
