40 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10454

The 12-story, 365-unit residential building at 40 Bruckner Boulevard in Port Morris, owned by Jacob Schwimmer, was completed in 2022 and has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding indoor air quality, with five separate reports of chemical vapors, gases, or odors between May and June 2025.

The building has also faced significant plumbing and water-related problems, including multiple water leak complaints (both "slow leak" and "damp spot" categories), toilet issues, and a potentially serious unsanitary condition involving sewage reported in June 2025 that remains open. Other notable concerns include a flooring issue reported in June 2025, heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in May 2025, and a smoking/vaping violation in May 2025. The building's construction and operational history shows some early challenges during its first year of operation in 2022, including complaints about work without permits, failure to maintain, and a stop-work order that was later rescinded.

However, it's worth noting that multiple inspections conducted in response to various complaints generally resulted in no violations being found, particularly for complaints regarding vent/exhaust issues and elevator devices in 2025. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the most recent two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023). While many of the recent complaints have been closed, several were marked as "unable to gain access" for inspection, suggesting potential communication or access issues between residents and inspection agencies.
