1047 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1047 Hoe Avenue is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building owned by Sharif Sayed and constructed in 1920 in the Longwood neighborhood of the Bronx. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most notable problems including multiple incidents of heat and hot water outages (March 2024, January 2025), water leaks (January 2025), and unsanitary conditions involving mold (April 2025).

Of particular concern are the building's safety systems: in late 2024, violations were issued for missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though these were reportedly corrected. The property has an active rodent infestation problem, with rodent activity documented in inspections throughout 2023-2025, and persistent issues with building maintenance are evident from multiple housing violations, including broken windows, brickwork problems, and pest infestations in apartment 3F that were documented in late 2023.

The building's mechanical systems have also presented challenges, including a problematic boiler situation noted in a December 2020 inspection that identified several safety concerns including leaks and corrosion. While some emergency complaints have been resolved promptly according to HPD records, there are several open violations including issues with windows in apartment 3F (broken glass and sash problems) and exterior brickwork that remains outstanding as of 2025. The property has consistently maintained its reporting requirements for bedbugs, showing no infestations or treatment needs through 2025, and major safety inspections conducted in 2021 resulted in no significant violations, though these were preliminary inspections.
