1814 Fowler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

1814 Fowler Avenue is a 4-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Morris Park neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Arlene Mackin. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple building-wide complaints in recent years. Most notably, a heat/hot water complaint was filed in December 2024, marking the most recent in a pattern of similar issues that have persisted since 2019, including documented emergencies in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023, though most were resolved relatively quickly with reports of restoration.

The building has also faced sanitary challenges, particularly concerning mold, with violations documented in January and February 2023 in apartment 1C, affecting multiple walls and requiring remediation. Several safety-related violations were noted in early 2023, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1C, as well as issues with self-closing doors in the vestibule. The most recent bedbug reports indicate 3 infested dwelling units in the 2022-2023 period, though no units were reported infested in subsequent years, and all were reported as eradicated.

A rodent inspection conducted in December 2022 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting no significant rodent issues were present at that time. While the building's management has generally addressed violations and complaints when they arise, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues and recent mold violations in 2023 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained all required bedbug protocols, with the most recent report indicating no active infestations as of late 2024.
