885 Intervale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 25-unit, 5-story building at 885 Intervale Avenue in Longwood, currently owned by 866 Beck St. H.d.f.c, has had several concerning maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in October 2024, there were multiple service requests involving electric lighting, ceiling paint/plaster, and appliance issues, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints.

In August 2024, violations were documented regarding water leaks and plaster issues in Apartment 4A, as well as multiple violations concerning bulkhead door functionality. The building experienced recurring refrigerator problems in 2023, with multiple complaints submitted, though most were eventually resolved without violations. Earlier issues from 2022 included door/window problems and water supply concerns, with no violations issued following HPD inspections.

The property has maintained consistent pest management records, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, and only one recorded instance in 2021. However, there is a history of rodent activity concerns between 2012 and 2017, with multiple instances of rat activity documented during inspections. The building's most recent violation records from 2024 show multiple issues related to bulkhead doors requiring repairs or replacements, including problems with self-closing mechanisms and illegal fastenings. While many of these violations have been marked as closed through corrective actions, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
