1002 Garrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

The 21-unit, 5-story tenement building at 1002 Garrison Avenue in Hunts Point, owned by Michael Faust, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring from late 2022 through early 2023. Between December 2022 and February 2023, the building received multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints, with violations issued for inadequate heating system access and inadequate heat supply in specific apartments (1A and 5C). These heating-related issues generated numerous 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, though most were subsequently closed after verification of corrections.

The building's heating system access concerns were documented in multiple violations, noting locked boiler room doors in the basement and cellar areas. Despite these heating challenges, more recent inspections have shown improvement in building conditions. The building has successfully passed rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, though there was a note of rat activity in May 2022.

The property has maintained a zero-infestation status for bedbugs in its most recent three reporting periods (2022-2024), though there was one documented case in 2018-2019 that was reported as eradicated. A previously open violation from August 2021 regarding a broken intercom system in apartment 4A remains unresolved in the current records as of October 2023. The building's age (built in 1910) and history of heating system challenges suggest ongoing maintenance requirements, though recent inspections indicate some improvement in overall building conditions and pest management.
