1816 Radcliff Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1816 Radcliff Avenue in Morris Park, owned by Joseph Crupi and constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over recent years. The property faced rodent-related challenges in 2021, with multiple complaints received between June and August of that year, including conditions attracting rodents and rat sightings, though subsequent inspections showed some resolution with an inspection passing in December 2022. The building also encountered unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage in mid-2021, although the Department of Housing Preservation and Development conducted inspections without issuing violations.

A notable Housing Maintenance Code violation was recorded in April 2021 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though the building has since shown consistent compliance, with no reported bedbug infestations in the annual filings from 2021 through 2024. The property underwent inspections in 2021 related to rodent conditions, with initial inspections failing for unspecified reasons, though these issues appear to have been addressed in later inspections. An unrelated Professional Certification Compliance Audit was conducted in May 2019, resulting in no violations.

The building has active permits from 2019 for electrical and plumbing work (Job Number: 220690571), with issuance dates in February and April of that year, suggesting some maintenance and improvements were being carried out during that period. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021 regarding pests and garbage storage, recent records indicate improved conditions, with no major violations or infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025). The most recent inspection for rodent conditions in December 2022 passed, suggesting that earlier pest control issues may have been resolved.
