What Goes Into a Bronx ESA Letter From Us

Many Bronx apartments come with a no-pet clause, so a Bronx ESA letter should show a landlord who evaluated you and how to check it.

  • A clinician's signature

    It carries the name and license of the New York-licensed clinician you spoke with.

  • The correct letter type

    Emotional support animal? An ESA letter. A dog with trained tasks? A psychiatric service dog letter.

  • A way to verify it

    Our verification page lets a landlord look up the reference number. Housing is its purpose, and the landlord decides.

College Housing in the Bronx

Each campus sets its own documents, and online paperwork alone can fall short, so call before you buy a plan.

Bronx Questions on Shelters, Courts and Campuses

Is there an animal shelter open in the Bronx?

Not yet. ACC says its new center at 2060 Bartow Ave opens in 2027, and its Bronx Resource Center on East Fordham Road is temporarily closed. ACC's Manhattan center on East 110th Street is open daily.

How do I report a lost pet from the Bronx?

Call ACC at (212) 788-4000 before you travel, since no Bronx site is open to visitors. ACC also sends sick or injured Bronx animals to its Queens, Manhattan or Staten Island centers.

Which Bronx parks have dog runs?

Van Cortlandt Park has three runs, Pelham Bay Park has one off Stadium Avenue, and NYC Parks also lists off-leash areas along the Bronx River.

Where do Bronx tenants file a housing discrimination complaint?

The Division of Human Rights has its Housing Investigations Unit at One Fordham Plaza. The main line is (844) 697-3471, and the complaint window is three years for recent acts.

Where is the Bronx Housing Court?

At 1118 Grand Concourse, phone 718-466-3025. Do not confuse it with Bronx Civil Court, at 851 Grand Concourse.

Can a Fordham student rely on an online ESA letter?

Fordham says a self-evaluation from the internet or an unrecognized online certificate is not proper documentation alone, and it prefers a provider with personal knowledge of the student. Call Residential Life at (718) 817-3080.

Does Lehman College allow emotional support animals?

Its housing handbook bars pets but permits ESAs as reasonable accommodations. Ask Residence Life at 718-960-8242 how a request is reviewed.

Who gives free legal help to Bronx tenants?

Legal Aid at 718-991-4758, Bronx Legal Services at (718) 928-3700 and Mobilization for Justice at 212-417-3800. Help depends on income and each group's capacity.

Bronx facts on this page were gathered from ACC, NYC Parks, the Division of Human Rights, NYCHA, the colleges and legal service groups. We treat them as current as of October 2026. Think of the page as a neighborhood reference and not legal advice on a dispute. Screening does not guarantee a letter, given that the evaluating clinician decides each case. Confirm details with the office named, and reach 988 by call or text if you need support today.
