1030 Rev James A Polite A, Bronx, NY 10459

The four-story, 10-unit building at 1030 Rev James A Polite A in Longwood was constructed in 2018 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in January 2025, there were complaints about power outages and inadequate heat/hot water, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not be completed due to access issues.

Throughout 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water problems, with some units experiencing inadequate service. Other 2024 violations included issues with a cabinet in Apartment 1B, as well as problems with doors, intercom systems, and various maintenance concerns that affected resident safety and comfort. The building's history shows persistent concerns with building systems and maintenance.

During construction in 2018, multiple safety violations were recorded, including problems with guardrails, rebar caps, and insufficient overhead protection, which resulted in fines totaling $10,000. The building experienced various mechanical and safety issues in 2024-2025, including concerns about pests, unsanitary conditions, and problems with plumbing and ventilation systems. While the building appears to be adhering to bedbug and rodent control regulations in recent years, with no reported infestations in the past three years and passing inspections in 2011 and 2017, the ongoing issues with heat, hot water, and intercom systems suggest continued challenges with system maintenance and resident comfort.
