1135 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1135 Hoe Avenue is a 6-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Ignacio Castillo and located in the Longwood neighborhood of the Bronx. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns regarding heat and hot water systems. Between October 2021 and January 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, resulting in several violations being issued.

More recently, in 2024 and 2023, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pest issues, though inspections did not result in violations. The building underwent a thorough inspection in December 2023, revealing several maintenance issues including defective roof bulkhead door hardware, problematic windows needing repair, and various interior maintenance requirements in apartments 1B, 2C, and 3C. The property has demonstrated reasonable rodent control, with recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 passing successfully. Compliance with bedbug reporting requirements shows no infestations documented in the past five years.

In 2021 and 2022, there were significant concerns about gas line safety in the basement, though these issues appear to have been resolved. The building's management has faced several violations related to energy benchmarking and efficiency reporting, though these were dismissed once corrected. Recent inspections of the roof access and other building systems in 2023-2024 indicate ongoing maintenance oversight challenges, particularly regarding door hardware and window conditions. While many complaints have been resolved through inspection and correction, the pattern of issues suggests periodic attention to building systems and maintenance standards is required, particularly during seasonal transitions.
