1086 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The six-story, 16-unit tenement building at 1086 Kelly Street in Longwood, owned by Hope Burgess and constructed in 1907, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months. Between April and May 2025 alone, there were multiple reports of water leaks, plumbing problems, and window-related issues, with particular concern around heavy water flow problems and window pane defects that received emergency classifications.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from July 2024 show significant concerns in multiple apartments, particularly in Apartment 1A, which has open violations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, an infestation problem (despite having a 100% eradication record in bedbug reports), and exposed electrical wiring issues in the bathroom. Apartment 4B has documented leaks and door saddle problems, while Apartment 2C is noted for missing safety detectors.

The building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure and safety systems, including multiple plumbing issues (affecting sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and floors), window maintenance problems, and sanitary conditions. Though the property has passed several rodent inspections between 2010 and 2020, the most recent Housing Maintenance Code complaint filed in June 2025 regarding pest conditions is currently open and under investigation. The building's systems appear to be experiencing increasing maintenance challenges, particularly visible through the frequency and variety of recent HPD complaints, with varying degrees of violations issued and some conditions found to not violate housing laws.
