1072 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The 5-unit residential building at 1072 Kelly Street in Longwood, owned by Evelina Burgos, is a 3-story old law tenement constructed in 1900. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2025, most notably relating to safety and habitability concerns. In March 2025, violations were issued regarding flooring conditions and the absence of a carbon monoxide detector, both of which require timely correction by the property owner.

Additional complaints in March 2025 included water leak issues (both slow leaks and damp spots) and ceiling problems, though inspectors were unable to access the reported areas in these cases, resulting in no violations being issued. Earlier in 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with residents reporting problems between February 15-21. While inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions, some reports indicated that heat and hot water had been restored by the time inspections were conducted. The building currently faces open violations from 2022-2024 relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though previous years' reports indicated no infestations were present.

Historical records show consistent passing results for rodent inspections between 2010-2017, suggesting this has not been an ongoing issue. It's noteworthy that while the building has experienced various maintenance and safety concerns in recent months, most recent violations fall under the jurisdiction of the Housing Maintenance Code rather than the New York City Building Code. The most recent rodent inspection was only required for 2017, which may indicate improved sanitation conditions in this regard. The property has been responsive to certain service requests, as evidenced by closed complaints with restoration of services in some cases, though access issues have been a recurring challenge for inspectors attempting to verify reported conditions.
