883 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 883 Cauldwell Avenue in Longwood, owned by Zahid Khattak, was constructed in 1901 and has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building has an outstanding violation from 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, a requirement that has remained unaddressed since at least 2021 when this issue first appeared, continuing through 2022 and 2023 inspections.

The most serious violation in recent years occurred in 2021 involving apartment 2, concerning self-closing door requirements. The property's maintenance history shows a mixed record of compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. In 2018, violations included inadequate outdoor lighting and water leaks affecting public areas and individual apartments.

There have been multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2022, with some results showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in October 2022 passed. Various apartment-specific issues have been documented, particularly concerning apartment 2, including bathroom tile replacement needs and water leak repairs. While some violations have been resolved, several remain open or were only temporarily addressed, such as the 2018 violations regarding the bathroom tiles and door compliance. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control compliance.
