999 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-family house at 999 Kelly Street in Longwood, owned by Dennis Phillips, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a heat and hot water emergency reported in September 2024, though HPD was unable to access the premises for inspection.

The building had multiple complaints filed in June 2023 regarding paint and plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings, as well as general cabinet problems; while these were classified as both emergency and non-emergency situations, HPD's inspections did not result in any violations. A structural issue was documented in March 2024, specifically a horizontal crack at the base of the building front, which received a B-class violation under § 27-2005 of the Administrative Code requiring repair with proper materials.

The property has a mixed record of rodent inspections over the years, with significant activity recorded in 2015, including multiple instances of rat activity between January and August of that year. However, more recent inspections from 2016 and 2017 show improvements, with both passing inspections indicating better pest control measures. The building, constructed in 1993, is two stories tall and has undergone various maintenance challenges typical of its age, though the most recent issues have primarily centered around heating systems and drywall conditions.
