1140 Tiffany Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The 8-story, 84-unit building at 1140 Tiffany Street in Longwood, owned by Peter Fine and constructed in 2008, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. As of July 2025, there are active violations related to the building's low-pressure boiler system, which has reportedly failed to submit required annual inspection reports since 2024, resulting in a $2,500 penalty. The property has also received multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints between May and June 2025, including an open water leak complaint and recent issues with window guards. Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2024 noted inadequate heat supply to apartment 8C and various door-related issues in common areas, though some violations have since been closed.

The building's inspection history reveals ongoing maintenance challenges, including recurring problems with heat and hot water (most recently in February 2025), cabinet issues, and plumbing concerns. While recent rodent inspections in 2024 showed compliance, there have been multiple failures in previous years. The property's external maintenance has also come under scrutiny, with violations issued in 2018 for facade problems including spalled bricks and cracked window sills. Bedbug infestations have been documented in 2022 and 2024, though these were reported as resolved.

The building's only elevator-related complaint from 2021 did not result in any violations. Notably, there are several recent violations from 2023-2024 regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspection reports, though the specific nature of these violations remains undetermined as they are currently marked as active with no disposition provided. In summary, the building has a persistent pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, with particular concerns about the boiler system compliance and recurring plumbing/water-related problems. While some violations have been addressed and closed, multiple active violations and recent service requests suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
