1261 Havemeyer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 1261 Havemeyer Avenue in Unionport, owned by Gansham Parasram and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most significantly, in January 2022, there were heat and hot water complaints reported for the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The property has also faced recurring compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file the required annual reports, though recent filings from January and December 2024 show no infested or eradicated units. A recent electrical wiring complaint was logged in November 2024, though this was referred to the Department of Transportation. The building's maintenance history includes successful rodent control inspections in 2010, 2012, and 2013, indicating prior pest management compliance.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 shows no infestation, which is a positive development compared to previous years. While the building has faced various compliance issues over the years, many of the violations cited in earlier years appear to have been addressed, with the most recent bedbug reports indicating improved reporting compliance. However, the inability of HPD to inspect for heating issues in 2022 remains a concern, as there is no record of follow-up complaints or resolutions in the available data through October 2023.
