982 Leggett Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The 5-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building at 982 Leggett Avenue in Longwood, owned by Hope Burgess and constructed in 1916, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly in late 2024 and throughout 2023. The building has recorded multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 (both building-wide and apartment-specific), March-April 2023, and ongoing concerns as late as December 2023. Violations were issued in December 2023 related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartment 1B, along with various maintenance issues in this apartment including problems with floors and intercom systems.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years, though there was a roach infestation violation noted in January 2024 for apartment 1B. Safety and maintenance hatches were addressed in 2023-2024 including an improperly locked boiler room access that was cited as a violation in December 2023. The building has generally passed recent rodent inspections (2022-2023), though there were instances of rodent activity documented in 2013.

Various maintenance issues have been documented and addressed over the years, including problems with the buzzer system, floor repairs, and pest control. The bedbug reporting for the past five years shows consistent documentation with no reported infestations or re-infestations. The most recent building permit was issued in October 2022 for unspecified work, and previous inspections demonstrate ongoing attention to building systems and tenant concerns. The property's violation history and complaint records suggest persistent challenges with building systems, particularly heating and plumbing, though many recent complaints have been resolved through inspections and corrections, with some exceptions noted in inspection reports.
