922 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 5-story, 40-unit residential building at 922 Hoe Avenue in Longwood, owned by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past year. Between September 2024 and December 2024, multiple complaints were filed and violations issued, particularly affecting apartment 3B, which was plagued by multiple problems including roach infestations, water leaks, and issues with floor tiles.

A concerning pattern emerged in late 2024 and 2025, with at least eight instances where Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to complete inspections of various complaints, including issues with the bell/intercom system, plumbing, wall and ceiling problems, cabinets, window guard safety, and appliances. The building's maintenance history reveals a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including a broken window guard (November 2024), multiple problems with refrigeration (multiple complaints), and pest control concerns. While recent bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no infestations, the building has a documented history of rodent inspections, with varying results.

The most recent rodent inspection in January 2023 passed, though there were multiple failed inspections and bait applications recorded between 2014 and 2017. The property has been under scrutiny for various housing maintenance code violations, particularly in 2024, with citations for broken or defective appliances, pest infestations, damaged flooring, and plumbing issues, primarily affecting apartment 3B. The building's age (constructed in 1913) and the persistence of maintenance issues, particularly in the past year, suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and tenant concerns.
