993 Intervale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

993 Intervale Avenue is a 5-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Nellie Figueroa. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in May and June 2025. Earlier in 2025, there were electrical problems including a power outage and wiring concerns in January, which HPD was unable to properly inspect.

A cluster of complaints in December 2024 involved plumbing (basin/sink), paint/plaster (walls), door/window issues, and an unsanitary pest infestation, with violations issued for pest problems and some window/frame concerns. Apartment 14 has documented violations from December 2024 including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, radiator valve handles, window damage, and evidence of rodent and cockroach infestations, though some violations have since been certified as corrected. The building has a history of building envelope maintenance issues, with Department of Buildings violations in 2021 related to the masonry stucco facade at the exterior walls, which was noted to have cracks, loose areas, and missing sections.

Rodent activity was documented in multiple inspections between 2016-2017, though more recent rodent inspections in 2020 passed, suggesting improved conditions. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods. Recent maintenance concerns primarily focus on heating systems, electrical infrastructure, and the status of various building systems requiring ongoing attention.
