599 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The five-story, 12-unit residential building at 599 Prospect Avenue in Longwood, owned by Simon Neuman, was completed in 2023 and has experienced several maintenance issues in its first two years of operation. The building has faced multiple challenges with sanitation and maintenance, particularly during January 2024 when multiple emergency and non-emergency violations were documented, including problems with floors, ceilings, pests, and mold. Specifically, violations were recorded for floor conditions (with two separate complaints), ceiling paint issues, and both pest-related and mold-related sanitary problems.

Two 311 service requests related to rodent sightings were logged, demonstrating ongoing pest control challenges. While one mold violation was documented as an emergency, another was investigated without resulting in violations. The building's more recent history includes a tattooing-related health department inspection in August 2024.

Prior to these issues, the building underwent standard construction-related inspections, with two Oath Violations served in late 2022 and early 2023 related to Construction Safety Compliance and Tracking Compliance, though these incidents occurred before the building was occupied. A boiler-related complaint was made in November 2023, but no violations were found upon inspection. The property has also shown some issues with health department regulations, as indicated by the various DOHMH inspections, including one for rat sightings and the tattooing complaint, though the latter was handled according to normal health department procedures.
