1102 Forest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, three-unit building at 1102 Forest Avenue in Longwood, owned by Olatunji Gbotosho, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2003, with the most significant problems occurring in 2019. Between May and December 2019, there were multiple reports of water-related issues, including several instances of "slow leak" problems, one case of "heavy flow" water leak, and various heating complaints affecting the entire building.

The property also experienced pest-related challenges in 2019, with tenants reporting unsanitary conditions and infestations of both mice and roaches in Apartment 2. While some of these complaints resulted in violations, particularly regarding wall conditions and pest problems in May 2019, inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development generally found no violations for other reported issues. More recent records indicate ongoing compliance concerns, with open violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these are not tied to any specific invasion.

Previous violations included a broken handrail issue in the public hall stairs (2020) and various repair needs in Apartment 2, including plaster and paint requirements. The building has maintained generally good rodent control, with multiple passed inspections between 2010 and 2022, though there was a brief period of rat activity noted in September 2022. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly during 2019, there have been no significant complaints or violations reported in recent years, and the building remains relatively well-monitored for pest control through regular inspections.
