1525 Plymouth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement at 1525 Plymouth Avenue in Schuylerville, built in 1931 and owned by Fatosi Prop Corp, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent months, with the most pressing concerns being heat and hot water system failures in January 2024 that affected the entire building. During late 2023 and early 2024, the building underwent several inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) which identified multiple violations requiring attention.

These included unsanitary conditions relating to pests (both cockroaches and mice) in apartment 1A, issues with water leaks and damp spots affecting the bathroom ceiling in apartment 1A, and problems with various building systems such as a refrigerator, electrical wiring, and intercom/buzzer system. The building's security infrastructure has also been a focus, with recent violations concerning defective locking devices at the building's vestibule door and entrance from the vestibule to the public hallway, though these were subsequently addressed and closed out in February 2024.

The property has ongoing concerns requiring attention, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 relating to boiler room maintenance issues with a $3,125 penalty, and a 2024 violation regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. While recent bedbug reporting indicates zero infestations or eradicated units since late 2022, and a 2019 rodent inspection passed, the building's recent history suggests continuing maintenance challenges. In addition to the immediate issues identified through HPD complaints and violations, the building's management has been actively correcting numerous violations, as evidenced by multiple cases being resolved through inspections and certifications between late 2023 and early 2024.
