983 Ogden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 983 Ogden Avenue in Highbridge, built in 1901, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent incident being a power outage in July 2023 that resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Between 2019 and 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with some complaints remaining uninvestigated due to lack of access.

In October 2021, a cluster of safety concerns emerged simultaneously, including issues with the carbon monoxide detector, ventilation system, and sewage problems, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions. The building has also faced challenges with various housing maintenance code violations, including an open violation from 2023 related to insufficient electrical service to public hall fixtures.

However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past five filing periods, and recent rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. The property, which is currently owned by 983 Ogden Ave LLC, has shown some improvement in recent years, with no new heat/hot water complaints reported since 2021, though several violations from 2019-2023 remain open as of the latest inspections.
