1056 Rev James Polite Ave, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-unit residential building at 1056 Rev James Polite Ave in Longwood, owned by Josiane Djamouo, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2003. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of heat and hot water problems, with three documented complaints between 2018 and 2019, including one affecting the entire building and two specific to individual apartments. The building currently has open violations from 2021-2024 regarding the required annual bedbug reporting, representing a potential concern for pest management.

Significant safety-related issues were noted in 2019, particularly concerning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2, though some violations from that period were subsequently closed. Access issues have hampered inspections in multiple cases, including complaints about a refrigerator (2022) and ventilation systems (2019). The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of heating system-related problems, with three heat/hot water complaints between 2018-2019.

Notable violations from 2019 include defective kitchen cabinet repair needs and various safety system requirements in Apartment 2. The property has maintained a passing record for rodent inspections from 2010 through 2017, which is encouraging for overall building hygiene. While some issues have been addressed and closed over time, the presence of multiple open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements as of 2024 suggests ongoing compliance challenges. The building's age of 22 years (as of 2025) places it in the category of established structures, and the documented service requests and violations provide insight into its maintenance history and systems performance.
