2037 Colonial Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 2037 Colonial Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Mohammed Miah, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past several years. Most recently, in early 2025, there were two separate heat/hot water complaints within a week of each other, marking the continuation of a pattern established through multiple similar complaints between 2020 and 2022. The building underwent significant inspection activity in late 2023, revealing several infrastructure and maintenance concerns.

These included three immediate emergency complaints regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues, as well as additional non-emergency concerns about wall maintenance. Multiple violations were issued in October 2023 related to public hall conditions, including requirements for proper fire retardant materials, light fixtures, and water leak repairs, with some violations classified as "Open" as of April 2024. The building's recent history also shows attention to structural maintenance, with violations related to self-closing doors, fire retardant materials, and paint requirements for public areas.

A bedbug report violation was issued in April 2024, while the building had a vacant, open, and unguarded complaint investigated in August 2023, which resulted in no violation being warranted at the time of inspection. The property underwent a rodent inspection in April 2019, which passed. Given the frequency of heating system complaints and the number of open violations as of 2024, the building has demonstrably ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to its heating infrastructure and public area upkeep.
