1111 Forest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, eight-unit residential building at 1111 Forest Avenue in Longwood, owned by Michele Lincoln and constructed in 1903, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding sanitation and building systems. Most notably, in September 2024, the property faced multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, along with appliance issues including refrigerator and electric range problems. The building's history shows recurring water-related issues, with violations documented in 2019 for mold and water leaks, as well as a more recent 2024 violation regarding a heavy flow water leak.

The property has also had intermittent rodent activity, with confirmed rat sightings in 2021 and pest-related violations in 2024, though it passed rodent inspections in 2022. The building's maintenance record indicates ongoing efforts to address these issues, with several violations being closed after repairs or corrections were made, including recent work in Apartment 1N addressing mold, pest infestation, and plaster repairs. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing consistent filings with no reported infestations since 2021.

Recent inspections have pointed to improvements in certain areas, though the building continues to require regular attention to address persistent issues. The most recent violations from September 2024 related to mold, pests, and appliance problems were closed between September 18 and September 24, 2024, demonstrating the building management's responsiveness to maintenance requests. While the property has maintained overall basic compliance with housing codes, the pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require regular oversight.
