914 Simpson Street, Bronx, NY 10459

914 Simpson Street is a 31-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Nellie Figueroa. The building has experienced recurring heating issues in early 2025, with multiple HPD heat/hot water complaints from January through February, though most were resolved or had no violations noted upon inspection.

Between September 2024 and January 2025, there were several plumbing and appliance-related complaints, including issues with cooking gas, basins, sinks, and a refrigerator, most of which HPD was unable to inspect fully due to access issues. The building underwent violations in late 2024, primarily affecting apartments 1C, 1F, and 4C, with issues including water leaks, structural defects, and damaged windows, though all violations have been marked as closed. The property has shown consistent attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2019, and a passing rodent inspection in November 2023.

However, there are two active Department of Buildings violations (from 2021 and 2023) regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades. Recent permit activity suggests maintenance and improvement efforts have been ongoing, with two exterior work permits issued in September 2022. The building's history shows periodic maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems and plumbing infrastructure, though recent inspections indicate compliance with pest control requirements.
