138 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10454

138 Bruckner Boulevard is a newly constructed 12-story residential building in Port Morris, completed in 2023 and containing 448 units. The property, currently owned by Jacob Schwimmer, has experienced numerous maintenance issues since opening, particularly concentrated in early 2025. The most significant concerns have involved utility systems, with multiple reports of heat/hot water problems, electrical outages, and water supply issues between February and May 2025.

Specifically, there were 10 emergency complaints related to heat/hot water and electrical systems, though most were closed after inspections or reported corrections. The building has ongoing concerns as of May 2025, including open complaints about lifeguard absence and pool water quality from May 2025, as well as an open plumbing complaint about water supply issues from March 2025, and a reported issue with construction lead dust entering apartments from February 2025. Prior to these recent issues, the building had several violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings during 2023-2024, but these were dismissed.

Multiple electrical and elevator-related complaints were investigated in early 2025, including one regarding defective/exposed wiring and another about multiple elevator devices, though no violations were warranted upon inspection. The building's bedbug report for 2023-2024 indicated no infestations, and the previous year's report (2022-2023) also showed zero infested units. Despite the recent maintenance challenges, the property has generally maintained compliance with housing inspection requirements, though the current open complaints suggest ongoing operational concerns.
