1301 Needham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement at 1301 Needham Avenue in Williamsbridge, built in 1930 and owned by Jasvir Dhaliwal, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a pattern of water-related problems, with the most recent being a heavy flow water leak reported and inspected in February 2025, for which violations were issued. The building has also grappled with floor maintenance issues, particularly documented in December 2023 and February 2025, and unsanitary conditions including pest problems in December 2023 and February 2025.

Inspection records from September 2023 revealed multiple violations in apartment 2R, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various repair needs in the kitchen and foyer. There are also open violations from December 2023 related to mold in bathroom 2F, bathtub repair needs, and paint requirements in apartment 2R. The building's maintenance history shows some positive developments, including the resolution of various violations through inspections, such as flooring issues and electrical problems in December 2023.

A significant improvement is the building's recent bedbug reporting history, showing no infested units reported in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 reporting periods, following three consecutive years of zero infestation from 2019 through 2021. The property was inspected for rodent presence in November 2018 and passed. While there are several current violations under the Housing Maintenance Code, particularly relating to moisture issues, appliance conditions, and safety systems, the owner's compliance with corrections deadlines will determine if further action is necessary.
