1025 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1025 Longfellow Avenue, owned by 1025 Longfellow Ave LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in early 2025. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water outage in January 2025, though these essential services were reportedly restored during HPD's inspection.

Multiple complaints were filed simultaneously in January 2025 regarding window frames, flooring, and unsanitary conditions including pests, though HPD's inspections found no violations in these areas. The building's history reveals a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a significant cluster of issues in 2024 involving refrigerator problems, and historical concerns about heat and hot water systems, particularly notable in the 2018 complaints that were also not able to be fully inspected. In September 2024, the building received several Class C violations specifically related to apartment 2F, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, pest infestation (specifically mice), and defective self-closing doors, all of which required remediation.

Additional safety concerns were noted in 2024 inspections regarding the building's heating system access and storage encumbrances at the roof stairs, as well as requirements for proper posting of inspection information and carbon monoxide detection device requirements. The building has also experienced cyclical pest control challenges, as evidenced by bedbug reports between 2019-2023, though the most recent 2023 report indicated successful eradication of the infestation. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections since 2010, there were two failures noted in 2015-2016 that require attention.
