1006 Intervale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 19-unit, 5-story building at 1006 Intervale Avenue in Longwood, owned by Yoel Israel and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025. As of April 2025, there are three open emergency complaints related to doors and ceiling conditions, while previous complaints from April 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), safety violations (smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and window guard issues), and heat/hot water problems have been resolved, though violations were issued requiring correction.

The building has documented ongoing rodent issues, with failed inspection results in both March and June 2025, and previous reports of rat activity in 2023. Apartment 34 has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from an October 2024 inspection, including issues with pest infestations (roaches and mice), broken floor tiles, and problems with various windows and doors requiring repair or replacement. Looking at the building's history, there was a validated structural concern regarding vibrations or instability in February 2025, and a boiler issue was documented in April 2020, both resulting in Oath Violations.

The building's systems and safety features have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and violations related to safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), window guards, and heating systems. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to annual reports from 2019 through 2025, the ongoing rodent problems and recent pattern of open maintenance issues indicate continuing challenges with building upkeep. The property has a mixed record of compliance with various housing codes, with some violations being promptly addressed while others remain unresolved pending correction notices.
