883 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 883 Bruckner Boulevard in Longwood, owned by Alfredo Chalas, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2018, most notably with heat and hot water systems, as well as various unsanitary conditions. The property, constructed in 1925 and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B building, has faced multiple heat/hot water complaints across 2018, 2019 (three separate incidents), and 2022, during which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection.

Additionally, in June 2022, there were multiple reported issues including pests, mold, and appliance problems (specifically with the refrigerator and electric/gas range), which were also marked as unavailable for inspection. The building has received three Class A violations regarding Bedbug Reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though subsequent reports from 2022-2025 show no reported infestations.

More recently, in 2025, the building successfully passed initial rodent inspections in April and October, and the most recent HPD inspection from March 2023 did not indicate any current violations. While the building has demonstrated compliance with recent bedbug and rodent reporting requirements, the historical pattern of heating system failures and unsanitary conditions, particularly during 2018-2022, suggests these issues have been a persistent concern, despite the lack of recent complaints or violations in these categories through 2025.
