966 Anderson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 4-story, 9-unit tenement building at 966 Anderson Avenue in Highbridge, owned by Luis Garcia, has maintained generally acceptable living conditions since its 1908 construction, though several recurring issues warrant attention. Most notably, there is a pattern of heat and hot water maintenance problems, with related violations in 2019 (multiple complaints in January), 2021 (March), and an open violation from March 2023 affecting at least one unit (2F).

The building has also experienced various maintenance issues documented through 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in late 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed regarding appliances (electric/gas range), mold (unsanitary condition), and paint/plaster (walls and ceiling). The property has active violations related to the failure to file annual inspections, including bedbug reports (open since 2022) and external low-pressure inspections (2018–2023). A significant safety concern arose in September 2021 regarding suspended scaffolds during painting work, leading to two Environmental Control Board violations totaling $4,900 in penalties, though these violations are described as active with no balance due.

The building's electrical system has shown vulnerabilities, with a power outage incident recorded in October 2021. Despite these challenges, recent rodent inspections (2021-2025) have consistently passed, indicating effective pest control measures. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues typical of older tenements, regular inspections and prompt responses to complaints suggest an ongoing effort to maintain housing standards.
