608 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455
The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 608 Union Avenue in Longwood, built in 1910 and currently owned by Joseph Hasselt, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly relating to heating, plumbing, and pest control. Most notably, there are active violations from 2018-2024 regarding the failure to file annual external low pressure inspections, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. The building has documented multiple heat and hot water complaints, with reports in 2022 and 2019 indicating temporary loss of service, though HPD inspections often found conditions corrected during follow-up.
A significant cluster of complaints was recorded in November 2022, including issues with mold, pest infestation, door security, and smoke/carbon monoxide detector concerns, with several violations issued during this period. The property has maintained an active rodent control program, with inspections in 2023 and 2022 passing, following a pattern of compliance since 2014. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years (2019-2025), demonstrating effective pest management.
Historical records show various maintenance issues being addressed over time, including problems with the building entrance door, mailbox repairs, and plumbing systems. The boiler system has required attention, with a Department of Buildings complaint regarding defective equipment in 2019, and multiple violations related to inspection filing requirements between 2018 and 2024. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues typical of older tenements, many complaints have been resolved through proper channels, though some violations, particularly regarding pressure inspection filings, remain active as of the current date.
