950 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

950 Hoe Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit residential tenement building located in Longwood and built in 1913, currently owned by Abigail Grafals. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in late 2024-early 2025 including heat/hot water problems, unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), ventilation system issues, flooring concerns, and safety violations. Notably, there are several active violations from December 2024 in apartment 3A involving pest infestations, water temperature issues, cracked floor tiles, and non-functional safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors).

The building has also faced regulatory challenges, with multiple open violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections in 2023-2024. The property's maintenance history shows a mixture of compliance and non-compliance with various health and safety inspections. While there have been periods of passing inspections, such as rodent inspections in 2023, there have also been multiple instances of inspection failures for "Other Reasons" in 2019-2021.

The building's stairway safety has been a concern, with violations issued for broken or defective marble treads creating trip hazards. The Department of Buildings documented an illegal conversion complaint in 2019, but the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. Additionally, the building appears to have experienced historical problems with pest management, though recent bedbug reports show no active infestations from 2019-2020.
