1019 Longwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 16-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1019 Longwood Avenue, owned by 1019 Longwood Hdfc and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years, with documented complaints of heat and hot water outages in both July 2021 and December 2022 affecting the entire building. While both incidents were eventually resolved according to tenant reports, these service disruptions are noteworthy. A more recent concern arose in October 2024 with an unsanitary animal complaint that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene could not investigate due to access issues.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with annual filings from 2020 through 2025 showing zero infested units. Similarly, rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2010 through 2024 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. The property is currently facing an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report, which remains unresolved as of October 2023.

However, the building has undergone regular Tenant Safety Inspections in late 2021, with compliance inspections performed and no significant violations noted. The building's overall maintenance record shows attention to safety concerns, with prompt responses to complaints, though the recurring heat system issues and the outstanding boiler violation warrant attention. The most recent 311 calls and inspections suggest ongoing engagement with city agencies, though access issues appear to be a challenge in some cases.
