600 Timpson Place, Bronx, NY 10455

The 6-story, 50-unit building at 600 Timpson Place in Longwood, owned by Kalman Tabak and constructed in 1920, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there is currently an open plumbing/water supply issue as of April 2025, and between March and April 2025, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with some violations being issued regarding inadequate heat/hot water. The building has also faced recurring issues with paint/plaster damage as of March 2025.

Historical records show significant maintenance challenges, including multiple violations in 2022-2023 for heat inadequacy (notably in apartment 2E), electrical issues (defective outlets in apartment 4C), and a 2021 pest infestation problem in apartments 2E and 3B. The building's systems have been periodically inspected for rodent and bedbug presence, with mixed results; while recent bedbug reporting from 2024-2025 shows unit treatment and eradication, there were significant rodent activity concerns noted in earlier years. The property has also encountered compliance issues with its Energy Efficiency Report submissions, receiving violations in 2020 and 2024 for not displaying required energy information, though these violations were eventually dismissed.

The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring heat/hot water complaints, with multiple emergency reports filed in 2025 alone, suggesting persistent infrastructure or management challenges. Separate from the immediate maintenance issues, the building has two active permits from 2018 and 2022 for unspecified work, indicating ongoing efforts to address building systems or code compliance matters. The frequency and pattern of these complaints and violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance and resident comfort, though many historical issues have been resolved through inspections and correction efforts.
