875 Longwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

875 Longwood Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906, currently managed by 875 Longwood Ave LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and habitability issues over the past two years, with several open complaints as of March 2025, including plumbing problems with basins/sinks and multiple door/window-related issues involving frames and doors. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have revealed ongoing concerns with building systems, though some previous issues were resolved.

The property has a documented history of pest problems, particularly in Apartment 1C, where violations for rodent and roach infestations were issued in mid-2024, along with water leak and mold issues. Compliance inspections for rodent activity show a mixed record, with the most recent April 2025 inspection passing, while a March 2023 inspection failed, citing various reasons. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing but not fully resolving issues, particularly in Units 1C and 2A, where multiple violations for water damage, mold, and pest infestations were recorded.

A series of HPD inspections in 2024 revealed various maintenance violations, including ceiling damage in Apartments 1C and 2A, water leak issues, and pest problems. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the frequency of pest-related complaints suggests continuing challenges with building maintenance. Interestingly, despite the various issues documented through 311 complaints and housing violations, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs over the past several years, with zero infested units reported since 2019. The property has also experienced periodic challenges with building systems, including heating and hot water, though recent inspections have not found these systems in violation of housing laws.
