1117 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 12-unit, 6-story building at 1117 Hoe Avenue in Longwood, built in 2018 and currently owned by Moses Freund, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction. Most recently, in March 2023, a heavy water leak complaint was filed and closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, particularly in February 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were recorded, though these issues were verified as corrected by HPD. Other notable maintenance issues include a September 2022 electrical lighting problem (verified as corrected), and various building maintenance matters in 2021-2022 involving heating systems, appliance issues, and interior surfaces. The building's construction period (2018) was marked by multiple safety and compliance violations, particularly regarding elevator safety and construction practices, with several ECB violations issued to City Wide Builders Group for issues including pedestrian protection, insulation placement, and improper construction practices, resulting in fines totaling over $10,000.

There were also concerns about elevator service continuity, with multiple complaints between 2019-2021, though inspections generally found no violations. Recent inspections have shown improvement, with the building passing rodent inspections from 2020-2025 and showing no bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2024). The most recent violations from March 2024 were for apartment 3B, involving a door knob repair and ceiling painting requirements, but these were certified as corrected by April 2024.
