871 Longwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

871 Longwood Avenue is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Neshama Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particularly notable problems emerging in 2024. Recent inspections and service requests have documented issues with mold, pests, and water leaks, most notably affecting apartments 3B and 3C.

The property has generated multiple 311 service requests related to paint/plaster concerns and unsanitary conditions, with some violations issued regarding garbage/recycling storage and wall conditions. The building's infrastructure challenges are evident through repeated complaints about water leaks, door/window issues, and historical problems with rodent activity, though a recent April 2025 inspection passed with no rat activity noted. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations requiring attention to fire safety systems, with open violations as of 2024 concerning water leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom fixtures, and other maintenance issues in the 3rd floor apartments.

While the building has maintained a zero rate of bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2025 records), the property has experienced periodic rodent issues in the past, with inspections showing varying results between 2010 and 2023. Recent violations from late 2024 include issues with door maintenance, egress signage, waste receptacles, and yard maintenance, though most have been subsequently certified as corrected. The most recent housing maintenance code complaints from December 2024 indicate concerns with flooring, cabinets, and pest conditions, which have been marked as closed.
