1035 Hall Place, Bronx, NY 10459

The five-story, 22-unit tenement building at 1035 Hall Place in Longwood, owned by Ismene Speliotis and constructed in 1907, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems. Most recently, in early 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, including a building-wide complaint in February 2025 that HPD was unable to investigate due to access issues.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, with multiple complaints about various fixtures (bathtubs, sinks) recorded in 2025, and continuing violations from December 2024 related to hot water problems in unit 5B. Recent inspections revealed open violations for non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in unit 2D, various maintenance issues in units 3A (lighting, plumbing, window), and water leak concerns in unit 4D.

The property has shown some recent improvements, as evidenced by several permits issued in 2022-2023 for electrical and plumbing work, though these issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical data shows a generally stable building regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three reporting periods (2019, 2022, 2024), and rodent inspections from 2010-2017 show mostly passing results, with some failures noted for "Other Reasons." A Department of Buildings complaint from 2019 regarding illegal work/permits was closed without access being granted for inspection. While the building has had various emergency complaints in 2025 regarding heat/water issues and electrical problems, many complaints show the owner reporting that conditions were corrected when HPD contacted them, though these responses often followed subsequent complaints about the same issues.
