940 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459
The 62-unit, 5-story tenement building at 940 Hoe Avenue in Longwood, currently owned by Joseph Zitolo, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024-2025. Most notably, there were multiple violations issued in September 2024 regarding electrical safety (defective outlets) and gas supply issues in Apartment 4B, as well as unsanitary conditions including pest infestations. Recent complaints from June 2025 indicate serious water leak problems, with "heavy flow" leaks reported and subsequently addressed as emergencies.
The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system failures, with multiple complaints documented between late 2022 and early 2023, though these issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection. While the building has undergone several rodent control inspections between 2010 and 2017, showing generally passing results, there were documented rat activity cases in late 2012. The property has a mixed record regarding safety and maintenance compliance.
Recent violations include safety concerns such as a Carbon Monoxide detector issue in Apartment 3D (since resolved) and infrastructure problems like electrical outlet malfunctions and pest infestations. Earlier concerns from 2024 also included mold issues in Apartment 4A and various maintenance problems in multiple units requiring attention. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, with many cases being closed after inspections, though several violations remain open as of the latest reports. Importantly, the building has maintained a "0" count for bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting periods (2023-2025), with only one documented case in 2022-2023, suggesting improved pest management in this regard.
