1260 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The three-unit New Law Tenement at 1260 Stratford Avenue in Parkchester, built in 1927 and currently owned by Melvin Ramos, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations concerning the building's boiler system, with three outstanding violations related to failure to file external low pressure inspection reports for the years 2018-2023, and a recent violation issued in September 2024 regarding a defective/inoperative boiler system with associated penalties.
The building has also had persistent rodent issues, with recent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity, following a pattern of similar findings in previous years including 2024, 2022, and 2021. Between 2021 and 2023, there were multiple water leak complaints involving heavy flow conditions, though these were investigated by HPD and no violations were issued.
The building has open violations from 2018 regarding various safety and maintenance issues in apartment 2R, including problems with smoke detectors, window guards, and pest infestations (roaches and mice), as well as violations requiring proper posting of housing information and heating system access notices in common areas. There have also been regular inspections for bedbug reporting compliance between 2021-2024, which still show as open violations as of April 2024. While a permit was issued in August 2023 for exterior work, the persistent nature of many of these violations and the regular pattern of rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in the building.
