1030 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 16-unit building at 1030 Cauldwell Avenue in the Longwood neighborhood, owned by Aleksandra Gazivoda, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during the early months of 2025. Most notably, there were multiple water-related problems reported through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in January 2025, including instances of heavy flow water leaks and ceiling plaster issues, some of which resulted in housing violations that required correction. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with water leaks, as similar complaints were also documented in July 2022. Additional concerns in 2025 included roofing and gutter problems on the exterior of the building.

The property, built in 1905 as a New Law Tenement, has a documented history of various maintenance violations that have required attention over the years. Notable past violations include a 2023 citation for improper wall and ceiling paint in apartment 4A, and multiple 2022 violations in apartment 4C involving a loose kitchen cabinet and defective electrical fixture. A pest control issue was recorded in 2019 with an infestation of roaches in apartment 3E. While the building has passed several rodent inspections from 2016 to 2022, there were indications of rat activity in 2015, and compliance failures were recorded in 2011-2012.

Recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no infestations or eradication efforts needed, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. In a concerning development, there was a complaint about building shaking or vibration reported and inspected in January 2025, which resulted in an "Oath Violation" being served. This older five-story structure has experienced various maintenance challenges typical of its age, with the most recent issues primarily concentrated around water damage and interior finishes. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by multiple "closed" statuses on maintenance code violations, though the persistent nature of some issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
