1855 Bogart Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The four-story New Law Tenement building at 1855 Bogart Avenue in Morris Park, owned by Gideon Stryker, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years. Most recently in April 2025, there were two emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with similar issues reported in March 2025.

The building has a documented pattern of heating system problems, with at least nine heat/hot water-related complaints recorded between 2019 and 2025, though these issues have generally been resolved quickly, often within one to three days according to HPD's resolution descriptions. Other maintenance issues have been relatively minor in comparison. In 2023, there was a plumbing complaint involving a toilet that occurred in April and took about three weeks to resolve when inspectors were unable to gain access to the unit.

The building underwent rodent inspections in 2020 and 2022, both passing without significant violations. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in any of the annual filings between 2018 and 2024, showing proactive management in pest control. While the repeated heating system problems are concerning, the prompt response and resolution times indicate that when issues are reported, they are generally addressed promptly, though the frequency of these complaints raises questions about system reliability.
