1807 Archer Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The 5-story, 46-unit New Law Tenement at 1807 Archer Street in Parkchester, built in 1927 and owned by Carmen Hernandez, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there are recent concerns about a water leak and pest infestation reported in May 2025, though HPD inspection attempts were unsuccessful. The building has also faced recurring heating issues, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in December 2024, and problems with door/windows and flooring reported in November 2024.

A cluster of violations was documented for Apartment 7 in September 2024, including issues with flooring, mold, and various maintenance concerns, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected by January 2025. The property has active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file required external pressure inspections from 2021 and benchmarking reports from 2019, which remain unresolved as of July 2025. Historically, the building has had some pest control challenges, with documented bedbug infestations in apartments during 2022-2023, though none were reported in the most recent 2023-2024 filing period.

The property has maintained a generally good record with rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2012 and 2022. Recent 311 complaints have also documented issues beyond maintenance concerns, including multiple smoking/vaping violations in 2025 that required intervention from the NYC Health Department. While some violations have been promptly addressed, as evidenced by several complaints being marked as corrected through phone verification, the building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges requiring ongoing attention, particularly regarding heating systems, water infrastructure, and pest control.
