857 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459
The three-story, single-room occupancy building at 857 Bruckner Boulevard in Longwood, owned by Simeon Farber, has experienced persistent maintenance and service issues, particularly related to heating and sanitation. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2024, including emergency calls in December 2024 and November 2024, suggesting ongoing problems with the building's heating system. The building currently has four active violations from December 2024, including issues with self-closing doors, gas leak procedures, and proper registration postings.
Recent service requests from December 2024 indicate multiple maintenance concerns, including mold, water leaks, and paint/plaster issues, though HPD inspections were often unable to be completed. The building has significant historical maintenance issues, including a boiler-related violation from 2020 for an oil leak, and multiple outstanding violations regarding low-pressure inspection filings from 2023. The basement apartment appears to have particular maintenance challenges, with open violations recorded in August 2024 for radiator and gas supply issues, and a mold violation logged in June 2025.
Inspection records show a pattern of rodent activity in previous years, though recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025 passed. Despite these issues, the building's bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show no infestation cases, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The building, constructed in 1925, is subject to New York City's rent stabilization laws and has a documented history of violations typical of older New York City residential buildings, though the frequency and pattern of heating-related complaints in particular suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.
