1060 Anderson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 5-story, 36-unit building at 1060 Anderson Avenue in Highbridge, owned by Barry Seiden, has experienced significant ongoing heating and maintenance issues during 2025, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between February 20 and March 10, 2025, there were eight emergency complaints about lack of heat or hot water in the entire building, with multiple instances where Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access to perform necessary evaluations.

The building has also been subject to rodent activity concerns, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 showing either rat activity or the need for bait application, though one compliance inspection in August 2024 passed. The property, built in 1925 as a New Law tenement, has several open violations as of 2025, particularly affecting apartment 2A, which include issues with water supply, excessive water temperature (recorded at 168 degrees), broken plaster surfaces, and multiple instances of water leak problems affecting ceilings and walls.

While there have been maintenance issues, it's noteworthy that the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024 and received a construction-related permit in November 2021. The building's age and recent maintenance challenges suggest ongoing infrastructure and systems management issues, particularly affecting building-wide amenities such as heating and hot water systems.
