5930 Spencer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471

The two-story New Law Tenement building at 5930 Spencer Avenue in North Riverdale, owned by Connie Levy, was constructed in 1928 and contains 5 residential units. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns in 2023-2024 regarding heating, plumbing, and electrical systems.

Notable incidents include multiple heat and hot water complaints (including emergency calls in March-April 2024), a power outage in March 2024 requiring immediate emergency attention, and violations related to cooking gas and plumbing facilities. A significant cluster of violations was documented in April 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2S, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and utility supplies (electric and gas) to kitchen fixtures. The building has undergone several inspections and corrections since these violations were issued, with most violations certified as corrected by 2024-04-26, though some issues remain open or were not accessible for inspection.

The property has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting, with no infestations or treatment requirements reported between 2020 and 2024. Recent inspection findings from April 2024 also revealed several administrative violations, including the need for proper signage regarding the building's registration number, elevator inspection certificate, and notice requirements in both English and Spanish, along with access issues to the building's heating system. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and systems, particularly during seasonal transitions, though recent months show some improvement in response times and resolution of specific violations.
