39 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10454

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 39 Bruckner Boulevard in Port Morris, owned by Rabia Yaghoubzadeh and constructed in 1915, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and safety concerns. Most notably, between November and December 2024, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, with violations issued for inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 3. The building has also faced recurring safety and maintenance challenges, including a February 2024 incident involving both smoke and carbon monoxide detector violations, multiple mold issues, and concerns about the intercom system.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 indicate problems with boiler installations, and active Department of Buildings violations suggest ongoing regulatory compliance issues, including failure to certify corrections to immediately hazardous violations. The property has a documented history of plumbing and safety violations, with recent inspections revealing numerous building code infractions. These include violations related to water supply, ceiling conditions, and interior painting requirements in Apartment 3, as well as issues with garbage storage in common areas.

The building's maintenance history shows some pattern of recurring problems, particularly regarding heating systems and safety equipment. While there have been no recent bedbug infestations reported (with zero units affected in the 2023-2024 filing period), the building's rodent inspection history shows varied results, with passed inspections in 2023 and past rat activity noted in 2021 and 2017. The property underwent some infrastructure updates, including boiler replacements in 2024, but ongoing violations and service requests suggest persistent maintenance challenges.
