1704 Van Buren Street, Bronx, NY 10460
The 5-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building at 1704 Van Buren Street in Van Nest, currently owned by Anton Popovic, has experienced a series of maintenance and habitability issues over the past few years. Between 2024 and mid-2025, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, including multiple emergency complaints between December 2024 and May 2025.
The building has also faced persistent water-related issues, evidenced by several water leak complaints, including a heavy flow leak reported in June 2025, and multiple violations related to water damage and leaks documented in late 2024. One apartment, unit 4D, has been the focus of significant attention due to multiple violations including lead paint hazards, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and various repair needs documented in December 2024. The building's condition has attracted multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2023 related to maintenance failures, with inspections often unable to gain access for verification.
A notable ECB violation from August 2023 cited defective ceilings and flooring issues. The property has consistently demonstrated rodent activity, with nine inspections showing rat activity between 2021 and 2023, though there have been no bedbug incidents reported in the past five years. Recent flooring complaints in May 2025 resulted in some violations being issued, while others were determined not to violate housing laws.
