949 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459

949 Bruckner Boulevard is a 3-story, 3-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by the George and Norma Prado Trust as of August 2023. The building's recent history reveals several significant maintenance and safety concerns, with the most pressing being recurring issues with the building's intercom system, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints throughout 2023.

In June 2023 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding ceiling conditions, pest problems, flooring issues, and plumbing concerns related to the radiator system, all of which were documented and closed by HPD. The building also experienced an entire building heat and hot water issue in November 2021, which, while resolved promptly, indicates potential concerns with the building's heating system reliability. In addition to these maintenance issues, there have been multiple recent complaints regarding illegal conversions of the building, with inspections conducted in June 2023 and August 2023 resulting in Oath Violations being served, though no violations were warranted in the August inspection.

The property has experienced pest control challenges, with a rat sighting complaint filed in May 2019, and recent sanitation issues including concerns about garbage/recycling storage documented in June 2023. The building's owner trust was established in August 2023, shortly before multiple construction-related complaints were filed in November 2023, including two construction enforcement work orders, one of which resulted in an Oath Violation being served. While many of these complaints have been closed, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building, particularly regarding building systems and general upkeep.
