1125 Forest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1125 Forest Avenue is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Longwood, constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Yonatan Bahumi. The property has faced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issues occurring in early 2025 when multiple heat and hot water complaints were reported between January and February, indicating systemic building-wide problems with basic utilities.

The building has documented rodent and pest control issues, with active rat inspections and rodent activity reported as recently as March 2025, and multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024. Notable violations from July 2024 include lead paint hazards, deteriorating wooden flooring, and insect infestations in Apartment 1 and 1st Floor units, while the first-floor apartment has reported issues with mold, mildew, and various maintenance concerns. Recent health and sanitation issues have been recorded in June 2025, with multiple complaints about unsanitary animal conditions, though these were linked to earlier complaints and directed to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's Rat Portal.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heat and hot water system problems in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed and inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Despite the serious nature of these issues, some complaints were either closed without violations being found or were duplicate complaints referring to already known problems. The property has maintained annual bedbug reporting requirements, with zero infestation cases reported in the most recent filings for 2023-2024 and 2021-2022 periods, though a bedbug violation was noted in April 2024 which was subsequently closed.
