947 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-unit residential building at 947 Bruckner Boulevard in Longwood, owned by Marco Cabrera, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with particular attention required in the most recent months. In January 2025, multiple emergency complaints were recorded and addressed, including issues with mold, ceiling problems, floor conditions, and a door frame. These recent complaints followed earlier concerns from December 2024 regarding walls and mold conditions that HPD was unable to inspect.

The building has experienced recurring sanitation issues, with documented complaints about mold and pests in 2023, and an August 2023 complaint resulted in violations being issued. The property also underwent a substantial inspection in October 2024, revealing multiple safety concerns in Apartment 1B, including defective baseboard radiators, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and issues with door hardware and self-closing mechanisms. Looking at the building's longer-term maintenance history, there have been multiple rodent inspections between 2011 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, which is a positive development given earlier rat activity findings in 2019 and 2011.

Bedbug reports from 2021-2025 show minimal infestation activity, with no units currently infested as of the most recent reports. The property has had various building code violations and complaints over the years, all of which were subsequently addressed and closed, including safety-related issues such as missing handrails and defective doors. While the building was relatively new at construction in 2004, recent months have shown a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding sanitation and safety systems.
