1085 Anderson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The 6-story, 59-unit building at 1085 Anderson Avenue in Highbridge, built in 1936 and currently owned by Ramiro Velez, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with elevator service, as evidenced by multiple "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" complaints between 2018 and 2025, with the most recent active complaint filed in June 2025. The building has also faced persistent heating system challenges, with multiple HPD complaints regarding heat and hot water systems in both 2023 and 2024, though these issues were ultimately resolved.
Recent inspections in 2024 revealed multiple violations requiring the posting of various safety notices, including those relating to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. The property has encountered various maintenance and habitability issues, including water leaks, mold, pest infestations, and problems with flooring and building systems. For instance, in October 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding flooring/stairs, intercom systems, and refrigerator issues, all of which were investigated by HPD.
Environmental concerns have been documented, including a mold violation in apartment 4E recorded in November 2024, and the building's rodent inspection history shows recurring rat activity between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing compliance. The building has an active ECB violation from April 2024 regarding obstructed fire escape passageways and another related to exterior facade maintenance, though most previous violations from 2022-2023 were dismissed. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods from 2020-2025, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various infrastructure and habitability concerns is required.
