785 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455
The 4-story, 10-unit building at 785 Union Avenue in Longwood, owned by Miriam Rodriguez, has a history of recurring heating and water supply issues. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024 and 2025, with six separate emergency complaints since late 2023, including two in February 2025. The building is currently facing several open housing violations from a March 2024 inspection, including ongoing hot water issues in apartments 2A and 2B, problems with heating system access, and various safety notice requirements.
These violations involve missed requirements for posting information about smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, bedbug reporting, and the building's heating system contact information. Structural concerns were also noted, including issues with brick and mortar joints on the west facade. The building's maintenance history shows some progress in addressing issues, as evidenced by several resolved complaints, though many recent complaints could not be properly inspected due to access issues.
Between 2020 and 2022, the building maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with only one infested unit reported in 2017-2018, which was subsequently eradicated. The rodent inspection results show mixed outcomes, with the most recent November 2023 inspection passing, following a September 2023 initial inspection that noted rat activity. The building's age (built in 1901) and classification as an Old Law Tenement suggest it may face typical maintenance challenges associated with older construction, particularly regarding heating systems and building infrastructure.
