958 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459
The 16-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 958 Prospect Avenue in Longwood, owned by Karen Geer and constructed in 1907, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints filed throughout 2024-2025 regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide deficiencies. In December 2024, HPD issued violations related to inadequate heat supply and locked access to the heating system, while January 2025 saw additional heat-related complaints, including emergency service requests.
The building has also faced electrical challenges, evidenced by multiple power outage complaints in January 2025 and an open violation from December 2024 concerning a defective electric switch in Apartment 4B. This apartment has emerged as a focal point for maintenance concerns, with several open violations documented in December 2024 regarding various issues including problems with the buzzer system, bathroom fixtures, and window mechanisms. The property's maintenance record reveals ongoing challenges with access to facilities and systems, as demonstrated by multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for proper inspections. Two open violations from December 2024 specifically cite issues in Apartment 4B, including problems with the electric switch and entrance door systems.
The building's heating system has been a particular area of concern, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout late 2024 and early 2025. While the building has maintained a rodent-free status with multiple passed inspections between 2010 and 2019, the current decade has seen a shift in focus towards other pressing maintenance concerns. Property records also show an active violation from 2019 regarding failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, though this appears to be from several years prior to the current date. The building's recent bedbug report for the 2023-2024 period shows no infestations reported, suggesting effective pest management practices in this regard.
