924 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The 4-story, 9-unit tenement building at 924 Kelly Street in Longwood, built in 1907 and owned by John Warren, has experienced persistent heating and maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2025, with seven separate incidents reported between January and March 2025, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. While some of these complaints were resolved, two heat-related complaints remain on record as of March 2025.

The building is also currently facing an open emergency violation related to mold in Apartment 4A, as per the latest inspection in May 2024, along with several other open violations regarding deteriorating conditions in this unit, including problems with peeling paint, defective wood floors, and a reported mouse infestation. The property has documented infrastructure issues beyond heating problems, including water leaks (most recently in March 2025) and various unsanitary conditions. Historical records show a pattern of maintenance challenges, with two significant rodent activity incidents recorded in 2017, though subsequent inspections passed.

The building's management has generally responded to HPD complaints, with many issues being resolved, though access has been denied in some cases and multiple complaints have required re-filing by tenants. While bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no infestations, indicating effective pest management, the building's current focus appears to be addressing moisture, temperature, and general maintenance concerns. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems, particularly heating, which have required multiple interventions from housing authorities.
