956 Intervale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

956 Intervale Avenue is a 15-unit, 4-story brick tenement building constructed in 1937 in the Longwood neighborhood, currently owned by Maria Rodriguez. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service, with nine documented complaints between 2018 and 2022 reporting system-wide failures, though in most cases, HPD was informed that services had been restored by the time of their response.

The building has maintained regular compliance with rodent control inspections, passing all inspections since 2017 and most recently in January 2023, though there was one report of rat activity in August 2017. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received several Bedbug Reporting violations, though recent filings (2025, 2024, 2023) show no reported infestation. The property faced one notable Department of Buildings violation in April 2023 regarding failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, which was dismissed in May 2023.

While the building has had minimal unexpected issues in recent years, including the aforementioned heat problems, it should be noted that the heat system is over 85 years old. The building has maintained generally good compliance with housing maintenance codes, though there were multiple instances between 2018 and 2022 requiring annual bedbug reports, these have shown no infestation cases. Recent records indicate that the building had properly filed bedbug reports for the period ending October 2024, showing no units affected.
