862 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

862 Union Avenue is a three-story, two-family house built in 1920 and currently owned by Henry Lee, located in the Longwood neighborhood of the Bronx. The building has experienced some recent maintenance challenges, particularly in December 2023, when complaints were filed regarding flooring/stairs issues and heat/hot water problems. Unfortunately, both complaints were closed without inspection due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access to the apartments.

These incidents marked the only active complaints on record for the property in recent years. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest issues, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2024), and passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2023, demonstrating consistent attention to basic sanitation and pest control requirements. The property's documented history shows regular rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2012, with all results indicating compliance.

Additionally, the building has maintained a stable occupancy record, with no reported bedbug infestations since monitoring began in 2021. The recent heating and flooring complaints, while concerning, are notable primarily for the lack of access for inspection rather than confirmed violations. Since the building's construction in 1920, its basic infrastructure has required minimal intervention beyond standard maintenance, suggesting reasonable upkeep by the current owner. The age of the property and its history of regular inspections indicate a typical urban building maintenance pattern, with no extraordinary or unusual events on record.
