1076 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The 3-unit, 3-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 1076 Fox Street in Longwood, owned by Samanta Rai, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing current concern is an ongoing electrical lighting issue reported in May 2025, which remains unresolved as of this date.

The building, constructed in 1910, has a documented pattern of electrical problems, with another "no lighting" complaint in July 2022 that was resolved but suggests recurring electrical maintenance needs. The property has faced multiple maintenance challenges throughout 2022, including pest infestations, flooring issues, and various sanitary concerns. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain unresolved as of 2024, including requirements to file annual bedbug reports and several building repair needs, such as fixing broken ceramic tiles in public areas, addressing sagging floors in Apartment 2, repairing mortar joints and bricks at the parapet wall, and improving the oil pipe connection at the front stairs.

Inspections between 2020 and 2022 have consistently indicated rat activity, with some recent compliance inspections failing for various reasons, though there were periods of passing inspections in 2021. While many of the 2022 complaints were inspected and closed without violations being issued, the sheer number of reported issues during that period—eight complaints on the same day for various problems including electrical, unsanitary conditions, and flooring—indicates a period of notable maintenance challenges for the building. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of both historical and ongoing issues, particularly related to electrical systems, pest control, and various structural elements, with the most recent concerns centering around lighting issues and outstanding violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements.
