1172 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1172 Union Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Robert Cole. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, most significantly in August 2023 when there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, along with plumbing problems related to water supply.

While these issues were reportedly corrected, the plumbing complaint remained unresolved as inspectors could not gain access to perform an inspection. The building has also been cited for several other violations, including an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements and multiple closed Class C violations from February 2024 concerning defective self-closing doors in various locations, including the cellar and boiler room, as well as in Apartment 1.

The property has maintained a generally favorable record when it comes to pest control and sanitation, with consecutive years (2019-2022) reporting zero infested dwelling units in their bedbug filings, and successful rodent inspections passing from 2010 through 2022. Prior maintenance issues documented between 2020-2022 included electrical outlet repairs, bathroom repairs, and hallway painting requirements in Apartment 1, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's most recent documented issues appear centered around plumbing and heat/hot water systems, with the 2023 complaints representing the most significant cluster of recent maintenance concerns.
