996 Aldus Street, Bronx, NY 10459
996 Aldus Street is a 6-story, 51-unit residential building located in Longwood, built in 1923 and currently owned by Stephen Kraus. The building has experienced recurring issues with elevator service, with multiple complaints documented between 2019 and 2024 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, with the most recent elevator violation from September 2023 remaining active with a penalty of $500. Recent health and safety concerns include a rodent infestation reported in June 2025, which was confirmed during an inspection, and multiple heat/hot water complaints in early 2025, with violations issued and some conditions still pending resolution.
The property has a noticeable history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple HPD complaints including mold, unsanitary garbage storage, and various apartment maintenance issues. Violations were documented in Apartment 1C in December 2024, including problems with water leaks, plaster surfaces, and pest infestations (mice and roaches). The building's infrastructure has faced scrutiny, with a boiler-related ECB violation in 2023 for denying access to inspectors, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations indicating ongoing challenges with service and maintenance compliance.
While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years (2021-2025), the rodent issue and recurring elevator problems suggest persistent challenges with building systems and health maintenance. The property's inspection history shows a mix of compliance and violation outcomes across various inspections, with rodent inspections between 2015-2025 showing fluctuating results, including rat activity and periods of passing inspections. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to elevator service, building maintenance, and health and safety conditions indicate ongoing challenges with property upkeep and compliance with city regulations.
