941 Leggett Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The 58-unit, 5-story tenement building at 941 Leggett Avenue in Longwood, owned by Andrew Kleiman and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Beginning in early 2025, the building faced multiple heat and hot water-related complaints, with eight such incidents recorded between January and April 2025. While some of these complaints were resolved promptly, others resulted in HPD inspections finding conditions that warranted violations.

The building's maintenance challenges were further highlighted by a safety inspection in April 2025 regarding the fire escape, though no violations were found. Additional issues included problems with flooring in March 2025, though violations were issued, and persistent plumbing concerns regarding radiators, with one emergency complaint filed in January 2025 and another in March 2025. The property has an active illegal conversion complaint filed in May 2025, while an earlier investigation from 2019 resulted in insufficient information to proceed.

Inspections in late 2024 revealed various housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting apartment 3F, including issues with paint and plastered surfaces, as well as a more serious violation regarding a fire escape obstruction from an air conditioner at the second floor balcony. The building has been subject to recurring rodent activity, with multiple bait application inspections recorded between 2017 and 2024, and the most recent rodent inspections in early 2024 indicating the need for continued pest control measures. On a positive note, the building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs over the past several years, according to the mandatory reporting requirements.
