920 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 920 Kelly Street in Longwood, owned by John Warren and constructed in 1907, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently open emergency complaints as of March 2025 regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues, with additional unresolved matters including a power outage from June 2025. The building has faced recurring problems with unit 4B, which has multiple open violations from December 2024 involving pest infestations (roaches), electrical lighting issues, hot water temperature concerns, leaking fixtures, and refrigerator maintenance needs.

Similar maintenance patterns are evident in unit 4D, which has open violations from December 2024 related to water leaks and plaster damage. The property has a history of infrastructure challenges, with multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2025 alone, covering various issues from electrical problems to plumbing and mold concerns. A concerning trend is the recent concentration of open violations and service requests in early 2025, including problems with doors/windows, electric outlets, plumbing fixtures, and unsanitary conditions.

While past data shows the building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years (most recently in February 2023), there were periods of rat activity documented in 2011. The building's heating system faced scrutiny in 2020, with violations noted for a fuming boiler that required repairs and a fine, though this was ultimately dismissed. The property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings since 2019, suggesting effective pest management in this regard.
