1102 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The five-story, 31-unit tenement building at 1102 Washington Avenue in Morrisania, built in 1910 and currently owned by Craig Livingston, has experienced significant heating and maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been multiple emergent complaints about heat and hot water problems throughout 2024-2025, with the most recent cluster of complaints in January 2025 involving both building-wide and apartment-specific heating issues that resulted in violations being issued by HPD.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues related to radiators, unsanitary conditions involving mold, and several problems with flooring and bathroom facilities in apartment 3D, which received multiple Class A violations in December 2024 relating to ceiling/wall paint, bathtub conditions, and ceramic floor tiles. The property has maintained a relatively consistent record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years and only one documented case in 2019, which was promptly addressed. Rodent inspections show a mix of results, with the last inspection in August 2022 passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2019.

The building's maintenance history shows variable compliance with housing codes, with several emergency violations being issued in late 2024 and early 2025, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. A notable safety-related violation was issued in December 2024 regarding drop ladder shoe attachment on fire escapes, though this was subsequently certified as corrected in April 2025. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, recent records show some improvements in addressing violations, as evidenced by multiple corrections being certified in early 2025, including repairs to bathroom facilities in apartments 3B, 3D, and 5A.
