880 Home Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The building at 880 Home Street is a two-family structure built in 1901, currently owned by Robert Anderson, and consists of two residential units. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with a cluster of complaints in May 2022 affecting various systems including electrical outlets, heating, and appliances, though inspections found no violations in most cases. More concerning were the findings from a January 2023 inspection of Apartment 2, which identified missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures, and an unauthorized 220-volt electric line installation for an electric stove.

Similar violations were noted for Apartment 1 regarding gas supply. Previous inspections from April 2022 revealed multiple issues in Apartment 1F, including problems with electrical service, heat supply, hot water, and bathroom flooring. More recent concerns include a Partial Vacate Order served in July 2025 related to an illegal conversion, though it's unclear how this directly affects the current tenant's living conditions.

However, the building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2019-2025), and has generally passed rodent inspections, though there was one failure noted in 2014. The property has a history of electrical issues, with multiple complaints about lighting, outlets, and power outages, as well as ventilation system problems. While many violations and complaints have been officially closed, the pattern of recurring electrical and safety-related issues, particularly concerning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building class is listed as a 2-family house, but the recent illegal conversion complaint raises questions about the current configuration and occupancy status.
