850 Intervale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

850 Intervale Avenue is an 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Longwood and owned by Robert Perez. The century-old building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent problems occurring in late 2024 involving toilet plumbing issues, and a notable water leak incident in July 2023 that resulted in violations. The building has an active violation from 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, as well as several open housing maintenance code violations from July 2023 primarily affecting Apartment 4, including issues with plaster surfaces, water leaks, rodent infestation, and various maintenance requirements.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, including past complaints about heating and hot water systems in 2019, and multiple 311 service requests over the years. The property also has multiple Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file required external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2024, which remain active as of now. While rodent inspections have generally shown compliance in recent years (with one exception in 2017), the building relatively recently experienced a rodent-related violation in 2023.

The building's safety systems and documentation requirements have also been flagged for attention, including the need to properly post smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, maintain updated inspection certificates, and provide proper notice of housing information resources. The combined record of complaints, violations, and inspection results suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting Apartment 4, though some issues appear to have been addressed through inspections and repairs. The property has demonstrated periodic compliance with rodent control requirements, though there have been recent violations related to various safety notices and maintenance issues that require attention.
