968 Anderson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

968 Anderson Avenue is a 9-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building located in Highbridge, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Luis Garcia. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably in 2023 and 2025, with multiple safety violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In March 2023, violations were documented regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2F, along with an issue of excessively hot water.

More recently, in March 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, suggesting ongoing safety system maintenance challenges. The building has also faced various maintenance concerns over the past few years, including a significant heat and hot water complaint in March 2023 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, though this complaint was subsequently closed. A cluster of DP violations from 2022-2023 indicates issues with notification requirements and lead paint hazard control documentation.

While the property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all checks between 2019 and 2025, it currently has several open violations related to the failure to file annual inspection reports, including the 2023 external low pressure inspection, 2022 external low pressure inspection, and a 2017 boiler inspection report from 2019. While HPD inspections in 2022-2023 addressed multiple complaint types including windows, plumbing issues, and paint/plaster work, no violations were ultimately issued. The building has undergone multiple inspections and service requests over the years, with varying degrees of resolution, though several complaints remain unresolved or were closed without access verification.
