1316 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 1316 Stratford Avenue in Parkchester, owned by John Goon and built in 1928, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a heavy water leak reported in June 2024 that HPD was unable to inspect, though other recent inspections from October 2023 revealed multiple violations that have since been addressed. These included a broken lockable slide bolt on the scuttle hatch door, defective self-closing vestibule door, and water leak issues in apartment 2R affecting window casings.

The building has a documented history of plumbing issues, particularly in 2019-2020 (including multiple toilet problems), pest infestations (most recently in 2023), and various maintenance matters including broken plaster and issues with window guards. Earlier records show consistency in pest management efforts, with the building maintaining a zero infestation count for bedbugs in reported periods from 2021 to present. While there were periods of rat activity noted in inspections from 2021, previous inspections from 2010 to 2018 consistently passed.

The property has demonstrated compliance with the bedbug reporting requirements, with all reports from 2020-2025 showing no infestations. Recent housing violations have been addressed, including repairs to the bathroom tub in apartment 2F, attention to plaster surfaces in apartment 2R, and maintenance of various building systems. The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 shows no units with current or past infestations, indicating effective pest management practices.
