1054 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1054 Cauldwell Avenue, a 3-story residential building in Longwood owned by Yanira Velazquez, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years. The most recent incidents occurred in November 2023 and February 2023, with previous similar complaints in January 2022 and February 2021.

During these complaints, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions. While a gas range issue was reported and inspected in February 2022, no violations were issued. The building currently has four open Class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for the years 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The property has passed five consecutive rodent inspections between 2015 and 2022, indicating no significant rodent issues. Despite the recurring heat and hot water problems, the building has maintained compliance with other housing maintenance codes, and no serious safety violations have been recorded. The consistent inability to gain access for inspections during heat and hot water complaints suggests potential access communication issues between tenants and inspectors rather than persistent system failures, though recent complaints indicate these systems may require monitoring.
