1130 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 17-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1130 Union Avenue in Longwood, owned by Lalita Singh and constructed in 1908, has experienced several ongoing maintenance and safety issues throughout 2025. Recent complaints reveal multiple concerning patterns, including persistent electrical problems (multiple "No Lighting" complaints), plumbing issues, and pest infestations. Of particular note, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building in January 2025 that resulted in violations, and more recent inspections in April 2025 regarding water supply and pest issues were unable to be completed, requiring tenants to resubmit service requests.

The building has also faced structural and maintenance challenges in the past year. In late 2024, violations were documented in Apartment 1C regarding ceiling conditions, including mold, plaster defects, and a problematic air conditioner installation. Apartment 4B has reported issues with hot water supply, an intercom system, and a pest infestation.

The Department of Buildings has recorded some structural concerns, including a vertical crack at the building's corner noted in March 2024. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, there have been several failed inspections for other reasons throughout 2024, indicating ongoing pest management challenges. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024, with no infested units documented in the past five filing periods. Despite these challenges, the building's recent inspections show some improvement, with several violations being certified as corrected, though multiple open violations remain that affect basic services and building maintenance.
