The 5-story, 17-unit tenement building at 1082 Southern Boulevard in Longwood, owned by Ruby Mercado and constructed in 1925, has a documented history of recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning heat and water systems. Most recently, in 2025, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building and individual apartments, though these were promptly addressed according to HPD records. An inspection in December 2024 revealed several issues in apartment 3C, including mold, lighting problems, pest infestation, water leakage, and the need for repair and repainting of walls and ceilings, with some violations marked as "Open" and others "Closed" after correction verification. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water system problems, with five separate complaints recorded between 2023-2025, including one from apartment 1A specifically citing inadequate hot water supply.
The property has undergone multiple rodent control interventions during 2024-2025, with several inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait, indicating an ongoing pest management challenge. Building safety concerns have also been documented, including issues with fire escape equipment and window safety features. Regular bedbug reporting between 2021-2025 shows no confirmed infestations during the reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. While the building has achieved closure of many complaints through corrective actions, the frequency of heat system issues and the presence of rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with inspection dates primarily between 2022 and 2024, covering various issues from water systems to building safety features.
