1737 Pilgrim Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

1737 Pilgrim Avenue is a 6-story, 65-unit New Law Tenement building located in Pelham Bay, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Edward Ciarletta. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple Emergency Heat/Hot Water complaints documented between December 2023 and January 2025, though most of these were corrected following HPD inspections. A notable unsanitary condition involving pests was reported in January 2024, with violations issued at that time.

The property has also faced structural challenges, with building shaking/vibration concerns reported in March 2024, and violations for exterior brick facade disrepair noted in March 2024, resulting in a $312 penalty. Several violations related to door and safety compliance were issued in 2024, particularly concerning self-closing doors and an inspection certificate requirement. The building's maintenance history shows consistent violations of energy efficiency requirements, with active violations for failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades from 2021 to 2023, and for not filing benchmarking reports in 2020.

Boiler-related issues were recorded in 2023, including access problems and defective equipment complaints. Improvements were noted in pest management, as evidenced by multiple years of the bedbug reporting system showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2025. Recent rodent control inspections have generally passed, though there were some failures in 2017. The building has maintained a comprehensive record of addressing housing maintenance code violations, with most being promptly resolved, though some remain open as of the latest records.
