1174 West Farms Road, Bronx, NY 10459

1174 West Farms Road is a 5-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building in Longwood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Christopher Crandon. The building has recently experienced significant heating system issues, with multiple complaints filed in February 2025 regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, though inspections were complicated by access issues.

Prior to these heating problems, the building maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2025), showing consistent adherence to extermination protocols. However, the property has experienced some challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by failed inspections in July and September 2022, following a pattern of mostly passing inspections from 2015 to 2019, and a rat activity finding in October 2011. The building's maintenance history reveals a mixed record of compliance with housing codes.

While there have been no bedbug issues reported since 2020 and the most recent reports (2025) show no active infestations, the property has experienced recurring heating system problems, culminating in the February 2025 complaints. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance requirements typical of early 20th-century structures, with periodic challenges in maintaining both heating infrastructure and pest control systems. The current heating situation remains a concern, given the multiple complaints and emergency filings in early 2025, though there have been no recent reports of continuing heating problems as of October 2023 data availability.
