1101 Forest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, three-unit building at 1101 Forest Avenue, owned by Liuzi Yang and constructed in 1903, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years, with documented complaints about heat and hot water problems in 2018 (three separate incidents affecting the entire building) and 2022 (one incident affecting a single apartment). The building has also faced plumbing challenges, evidenced by a Department of Buildings complaint in 2018 regarding defective/ leaking systems, though this was resolved by July 2019, along with the related violation concerning a suspended plumber's license.

More recently, in 2024 and 2023, there were violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings show no evidence of infestations, with the most recent report in 2025 indicating zero infested units. The building has undergone regular pest control inspections, with consistent reporting of zero bedbug activity from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective monitoring and management of this particular issue.

Rodent inspections have revealed some challenges, with documented rat activity in 2021 and 2022, though these were followed by compliance inspections that passed. The property has maintained compliance with building codes, as evidenced by the resolution of various complaints and violations, including a 2018 plumbing stop-work order that was fully rescinded in July 2019. While the building's history shows occasional maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and plumbing systems, recent records indicate improved management practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and successful resolution of most maintenance complaints.
