1015 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1015 Longfellow Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Xuezhen Yuan. The property has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a substantial fire incident in 2022 that affected both rear apartments and caused considerable damage, including broken windows and structural compromises. Following this, there were complaints in 2022-2024 regarding building shaking and structural stability, though these violations were ultimately dismissed or rescinded.

The building underwent various repairs and inspections in 2021-2022, with particular attention to safety features such as window guards, door closing mechanisms, and fire escape accessibility. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues between 2018-2019, including problems with heat/hot water throughout the building, electrical systems, and pest infestations, with multiple violations issued. More recent records from 2023-2025 show consistent bedbug reporting compliance (with zero infestations reported), though there were earlier concerns about rodent activity with mixed inspection results between 2010-2018.

The building's maintenance history includes attention to exterior and common areas, with several violations related to public hall doors and staircases. While most past violations have been resolved, the 2022 fire incident remains the most significant event affecting the building's history, with subsequent inspections confirming structural concerns. Recent bedbug and rodent inspections indicate improved pest management, though the building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance requirements.
