946 Rev James Polite Ave, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, three-unit building at 946 Rev James Polite Ave in Longwood, owned by Eli Maor, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between February and March 2025. During this period alone, the building had multiple emergency plumbing issues (specifically with radiators), problems with window frames, and both non-emergency and emergency concerns related to the electric/gas range appliances.

Prior to these incidents, the building had similar maintenance issues in February 2025, including plumbing, window, and electrical concerns. The building's history shows a recurring pattern of maintenance issues needing attention, including door/window problems (notably in 2022 and 2021), and three separate instances of radiator-related issues in 2025. The property has been subject to regular inspections and compliance requirements, with the most recent bedbug report (April 2024) indicating zero infested units, which is consistent with previous reports since 2022 showing no bedbug infestations.

However, the building has faced various housing maintenance code violations over the years, notably in 2019 when there were multiple issues in Apartment 2, including problems with a smoke detector, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and bathroom tile repairs that required attention. The building has also undergone several Department of Buildings inspections and complaints, with the most recent construction-related complaint in March 2025 resulting in a compliance inspection. Although most violations and complaints have been resolved, the frequency and nature of recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and maintenance response times.
