1131 Ogden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The 26-story, 400-unit Highbridge House, built in 1947 and currently owned by Rick Gropper, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, between April 2025 and July 2025, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to water issues, with at least three separate water leak incidents (including one with heavy flow), along with ongoing problems with mold, pests, and plumbing systems. The building has also faced recurring issues with its elevator systems, evidenced by multiple complaints about multiple devices (with active complaints as of June 2025), and several past violations regarding elevator maintenance between 2019 and 2024.
The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with records showing affected units in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, though all reported infestations have been listed as eradicated. Recent maintenance violations have included problems with door and window security, heat and hot water systems, and various sanitary conditions. The building's management has received multiple housing violations related to pest control, including roach infestations and rat activity, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 consistently showing rat activity.
There are also several open violations from a December 2024 inspection, including issues with gas supply, self-closing doors, and various maintenance requirements, particularly affecting apartments 11G and 25F. The elevator system appears to be a persistent concern, with both active and past violations totaling significant penalties, including an active ECB violation from December 2024 regarding worn gibs, defective car phone, and other maintenance issues with a penalty of $625. The building's recent service requests and violations indicate ongoing challenges with basic building systems and maintenance, with management receiving multiple violations in 2025 regarding various infrastructure and sanitation issues. While some previous violations from 2021-2024 have been resolved, many recent complaints from 2024-2025 remain active or have resulted in new violations.
