870 Longwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459
870 Longwood Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by William Bolinger. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple violations and service requests between 2024-2025. Notably, there are several active violations from December 2024 involving apartment 4C, including problems with doors, a defective sink, and intercom issues.
The property has also faced ongoing plumbing challenges, particularly with basin/sink problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints throughout 2025. Additional maintenance concerns include flooring issues in multiple areas, water leaks in apartment 2B, and various problems documented through 311 service requests. The building's history shows persistent pest control efforts, with rodent baiting applications recorded regularly between 2019 and 2023, though the most recent inspections in 2023 showed some improvements, with an initial inspection passing in January 2023.
There are also several Department of Buildings violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings from June 2023 that remain active. Earlier maintenance issues, including emergency heat/hot water problems and door/window concerns, have been addressed, but the frequency and variety of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. While some violations and service requests have been resolved, many remain open or were closed without resolution verification, indicating potential ongoing habitability concerns.
