819 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The four-story, 8-unit tenement at 819 Fox Street in Longwood, built in 1907 and owned by Jose Suarez, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues over the past several years. Most recently, in February 2024, there was a heat/hot water complaint for an individual apartment that was resolved with no violations issued. This follows a pattern of heating problems, including building-wide heat/hot water issues in November 2021 and multiple instances in December 2019, all of which were resolved but indicate an ongoing maintenance concern.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, with multiple violations documented in September 2021, particularly affecting water supply and bathtub/shower facilities. Notably, there are three open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, which could suggest compliance issues with HPD requirements. The property has a documented violation with the Department of Buildings from November 2019 regarding a missed boiler inspection report, though this remains active as of the latest update.

Apartment 4A has specific paint and plumbing violations issued in September 2021, requiring attention to wall and faucet conditions. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a passing record in rodent inspections from 2010 through 2017, suggesting good pest control practices. While many complaints have been promptly addressed through HPD interventions, the pattern of recurring heating issues and open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements indicates ongoing regulatory compliance concerns that affect resident comfort and safety.
