1066 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1066 Fox Street in the Longwood neighborhood, owned by Gil Broitman, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, the building has ongoing rodent issues, with multiple complaints and inspections showing consistent rat activity between 2019 and 2025, including inspections in January and November 2024 that confirmed rat presence.

There have also been significant heating system problems, with emergency complaints in both January and December 2024 regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building. Recent maintenance violations from December 2024 include deficiencies in safety equipment such as missing carbon monoxide and smoke detector notices, as well as general building maintenance issues including door repairs needed for self-closing doors at the main entrance and vestibule. The building's recent history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency complaints, with particular concern over heating systems and rodent conditions.

In March 2025, there were issues with a window pane that resulted in violations, and in April 2025, there was an appliance-related complaint that could not be inspected by HPD. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2021-2023 showing no infested units or required eradication efforts during the specified periods. While some violations were closed promptly, several remain open as of the latest inspection dates, including those requiring posting of proper safety notices in common areas and maintenance of building entrance registration information.
