1160 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1160 Hoe Avenue is a 5-story, 11-unit residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by John Warren. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple heat/hot water problems being particularly notable. Between January and May 2025, there were several complaints about inadequate heat across different units, some of which were classified as emergencies and resulted in violations. There have also been recurring electrical issues, with two "no lighting" complaints in 2025 alone, one of which resulted in violations.

Plumbing problems have been persistent, with multiple complaints regarding water supply issues, including a bathtub/shower problem in May 2025. The building has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file a 2021 external low pressure inspection. While the property has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, there were rodent activity issues noted between 2018-2022, particularly in late 2022 when the inspection failed for other reasons. The building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings from 2019 to the present.

Recent housing maintenance violations (2023-2024) indicate ongoing issues with heat supply and access to heating systems, particularly affecting apartment 5B. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a pattern of addressing violations, with many being corrected or closed, though some remain open as of the latest inspections. The property has documented improvements in some areas, with regular rodent inspections showing passing results in recent years, though the history suggests occasional problems. The building has also undergone various repairs and maintenance work, as evidenced by multiple violation closures, suggesting responsive management to certain issues. However, the frequency and nature of the heating, electrical, and plumbing complaints in 2025 indicate ongoing infrastructure challenges that require attention.
