1451 Overing Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The 62-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1451 Overing Street in Westchester Square, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Jay Miller, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of July 2025, there are two open complaints from March 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and electrical lighting issues, with both complaints currently unresolved. The building has a documented history of pest infestations, with an apartment (17F) showing evidence of both roach and mouse infestations in early 2024, and recent complaints in March 2025 regarding pests that inspectors were unable to verify due to access issues.

Other notable issues include multiple unsanitary conditions involving mold (with both emergency and non-emergency classifications), various wall and door/window problems, and a water leak incident reported in September 2023 that resulted in violations. The building's maintenance record shows some improvements, with several prior violations being certified as closed, including issues with peeling paint, a loose marble tread in the stairway, and a CO detector replacement requirement. While the building has maintained a zero incidence of bedbugs from 2019 to present, previous records show two documented infestations in 2019-2020.

Rodent inspections have shown mixed results in the past, with multiple failures between 2012 and 2014, though a passed inspection in 2019 suggests some improvement in this area. The building's violation history reveals a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to building safety systems and general upkeep, though many older violations have been successfully addressed through certification. The most recent complaints indicate continuing issues with building maintenance and resident comfort, particularly in relation to sanitation and pest control.
