1161 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, three-unit building at 1161 Longfellow Avenue in the Longwood neighborhood, owned by Ling Li, has experienced several notable issues since its construction in 2004. Most concerning is the persistent pattern of bedbug report violations, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024 under New York City Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

This ongoing compliance issue suggests challenges in maintaining required pest management practices within the building. Additionally, the property has faced multiple heat and hot water service disruptions, with emergency complaints documented in November 2018 and January 2019, though inspections following these complaints did not result in violations. A pest-related complaint was filed in April 2019, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

In terms of building maintenance and safety inspections, the property has generally demonstrated good rodent control practices, with six consecutive passing inspections between 2015 and 2022, though it did fail one inspection in July 2011 for unspecified reasons. While the building is relatively new (built in 2004), the combination of persistent bedbug report violations and periodic heat service issues suggests that some maintenance challenges have persisted over the years. The most recent building violations from 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements remain open as of the latest available data, indicating continued non-compliance with this particular housing maintenance requirement.
