850 Longwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459
850 Longwood Avenue is a 6-story, 39-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Hope Burgess. The property has experienced recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" dates from 2020 through 2025, with the most recent complaint still active as of January 2025. There are also significant ongoing concerns regarding rodent activity, with the latest inspection in July 2025 revealing a failure to meet compliance standards, and previous inspections throughout 2024 showing both rat activity and bait application.
The building has faced various maintenance challenges in 2025, including an open door/window complaint as of May 2025 and multiple utility-related issues, though several other complaints from May 2025 were closed without violations. The building has documented history of violations and maintenance issues regarding individual apartments, particularly affecting units 3C and 3E. These include concerns about mold (Class C violation) in 2024, paintwork requirements, and various maintenance issues documented in Housing Maintenance Code Violations between 2022-2024.
The property has maintained its bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent reports from 2025 showing no active infestations. Notable building-wide issues include problems with building systems such as heat/hot water (though this was resolved according to HPD records), and an active violation regarding the metal cornice at the building front that has persisted since 2023. The elevator maintenance history includes three Class 2 environmental control board violations from 2019-2021, with various safety and maintenance concerns documented, though these appear to be related to historical issues rather than current conditions.
