1023 Woodycrest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1023 Woodycrest Avenue in Highbridge, currently owned by 1023 Woodycrest Complex Inc., has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly related to heat, hot water, and plumbing systems. From September 2023 through mid-2024, there were multiple incidents of heat and hot water complaints, with emergency issues documented in September 2023, November 2023, January 2024 (both building-wide and apartment-specific), and a subsequent plumbing water supply issue in September 2023 that resulted in violations.

More recent concerns include two water leak complaints in April and March 2024 (one with heavy flow and another with slow leak) for which HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions. While these recent complaints were officially closed, they suggest ongoing concerns with the building's water systems.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the most recent two reporting periods (2023-2025 and 2021-2022). A single complaint was filed with the Department of Buildings in January 2021 regarding alleged work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the second final attempt, and this complaint was subsequently closed. The property, built in 1899, has a documented history of various system-related issues, with the most pressing concerns appearing to be concentrated around heating and plumbing systems as evidenced by the frequency and nature of the service requests and violations.
