1002 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1002 Longfellow Avenue in the Longwood neighborhood, owned by Ramon Hernandez, has experienced several notable issues over the past decade. Most concerning is the building's current status, with open Class A violations in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These ongoing violations suggest persistent challenges with maintaining compliance with basic housing standards. The building also experienced a brief heat and hot water outage in November 2019, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, though this issue was categorized as an emergency complaint.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained its rodent-free status, passing all four inspections conducted in 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2017. While these rat and mice inspections demonstrate good pest control management, the persistent bedbug reporting violations indicate a different pattern of pest management challenges. The building's history dates back to its 1930 construction date as a "New Law Tenement," a designation typically referring to buildings constructed before 1938 that are governed by specific rent and housing regulations.
