3656 Johnson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463
The 6-story New Law Tenement at 3656 Johnson Avenue in Riverdale, owned by Carl Borenstein, has experienced several maintenance and health-related issues over the past few years. Most notably, there were two rat sightings reported in June 2024, though subsequent inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations, with the most recent July 2024 inspection also passing.
The building has a documented history of paint and plaster issues, with violations issued in 2023-2024 involving walls and ceilings, particularly in apartment 3H where leaky faucets and defective plastered surfaces were noted. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in March 2024, including issues with compactor doors, missing inspection certificates, and various maintenance requirements, though most of these violations were subsequently closed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2018 showing zero affected units.
Historical records indicate some rodent control challenges in 2010-2011, with initial inspections failing for "Other Reasons," but recent efforts have shown improvement with the most recent inspections passing. A DOB violation from 2020 was resolved within five months. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, recent inspections suggest improvements in both rodent control and general maintenance compliance, though the March 2024 violations indicate some persistent infrastructure and maintenance challenges.
