901 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10459

901 Fox Street, a 5-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1913, is currently experiencing persistent heating system issues, with multiple heat and hot water complaints filed in January 2025, comprising three complaints that were unable to be inspected and two where heat and hot water conditions were verified as corrected. The building underwent an emergency inspection in November 2023 which revealed several concerning conditions in apartment 4A, including problems with mold, pests (roaches and mice), water leaks, peeling paint, and compromised fire escape access, all of which remain open violations as of July 2025.

Two additional violations were issued in December 2023 related to fire escape ladder safety and elevator mirror functionality, both classified as Class A violations. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues across 2023-2024, and a persistent lack of access for inspectors to verify conditions in several complaints.

While the building has shown improvements in pest management since 2019, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2021-2024, recent inspections have identified other maintenance issues requiring attention. Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2021 regarding the display of energy efficiency scores that remain unresolved. The elevator service has recently come under scrutiny with an active complaint as of February 2025 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service.
