1043 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1043 Longfellow Avenue in Longwood, owned by Shlomo Denti, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years that merit attention. Most notably, in February 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding paint and plaster conditions affecting ceilings, walls, and cabinets, along with reports of pest problems, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

Prior to this, in August 2024, there were complaints about indoor air quality issues related to construction dust and mold, though these violations were addressed with no fines issued. The building was cited in September 2024 for a specific repair needed on the exterior wall, though this violation was certified as corrected by October 2024.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2020 to present, showing no documented infestations during the past five reporting periods, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. Rodent inspection results have been generally favorable, with the building passing multiple inspections from 2010 through 2019, though there were two failures recorded in late 2018 requiring follow-up. While the recent maintenance issues are concerning, the building's historical records show periods of compliance and effective management of pest control requirements, though the inability to inspect and verify current complaints remains a notable pattern in the 2025 service requests.
