1234 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 38-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1234 Stratford Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Robinson Morel, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2018, with the most significant recent concerns related to heating and hot water systems. The building has documented two emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2023 (October and February), and multiple violations were issued following the October 2023 inspection.

Apartment 4D has particularly documented issues, with the most recent inspection revealing multiple violations including problems with security features, infestation (roaches), safety device deficiencies (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors), hot water provision, and various maintenance issues related to ceilings and walls, though many of these violations were certified as corrected by October 2023. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with water systems, including multiple plumbing complaints and violations between 2018-2023, and a notable pattern of heat/hot water-related complaints in recent years.

Security concerns were identified in October 2023, with violations related to door locking mechanisms at the building entrance. While the building has maintained an up-to-date bedbug reporting history showing no infestations since 2019, the rodent inspection results have been mostly passing except for one instance of rat activity noted in March 2022. The property has been compliant with monthly inspections for energy efficiency scores as of early 2024, though there was a dismissal of a violation regarding display requirements in 2024 due to successful challenge.
