586 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10455

The 6-story, 35-unit tenement building at 586 Southern Boulevard in Longwood, owned by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced persistent plumbing and maintenance issues over the past two years, most notably in 2024-2025. Recent concerns include multiple water-related problems, with six separate complaints about leaks and water supply issues recorded between January 2025 and April 2025, some of which were classified as emergencies. In late 2024, the building faced significant maintenance challenges in apartment 45, including water leaks, pest infestations (both mice and roaches), and various repair requirements for ceilings, walls, and tiles.

The building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations across annual reporting periods since 2019, and passed several rodent inspections in 2022 and 2019, although there was one failed inspection in 2017. Historical data shows the building is subject to regular inspections and oversight, with various housing maintenance code violations being addressed through official channels. The building's recent history (2024-2025) has been marked by multiple HPD complaints regarding water leaks, plumbing issues, and maintenance problems, particularly affecting ceilings in different units.

There have been three instances of uncompleted inspections related to plumbing issues (September 2024), and violations were issued in several cases requiring the property owner to make necessary repairs. Historical data from 2015-2023 shows generally consistent compliance with housing maintenance codes, though there have been periodic issues requiring attention. The property has been relatively stable in terms of pest management, with no bedbug cases reported in recent years and only one failed rodent inspection noted since 2015. The building, constructed in 1909, remains under the jurisdiction of the New York City Housing Preservation and Development department, which continues to monitor and respond to tenant complaints and building conditions.
