2253 Haviland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462
The five-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building at 2253 Haviland Avenue in Unionport, built in 1920 and currently owned by Vicente Cervantes, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern regarding building security and pest control. Most notably, in May 2024, multiple violations were documented related to building entrance security, including defective self-closing doors and locks, as well as a cracked window creating a safety hazard in the first-floor public hallway. The building has shown persistent challenges with building systems, including water supply issues in 2021 and various plumbing problems in 2020 involving sinks, basins, and tubs.
Pest control has been a recurring theme, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2024 resulting in a failed compliance check, though a subsequent inspection in August 2024 passed. The building's management has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024, consistently showing zero infested units listed. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with a particular cluster of problems related to doors and windows.
The building has undergone various inspections by multiple agencies, including HPD and DOHMH, with most recent inspections showing improved compliance, particularly regarding bedbug management and rodent control. Historical records from 2019-2019 indicate completed repairs in unit H, including issues with roach infestation, kitchen and bathroom conditions, and various other maintenance concerns which have since been addressed. Additionally, two plumbing and electrical projects received permits in 2019, suggesting some recent investment in building infrastructure.
