1054 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 1054 Longfellow Avenue in Longwood, owned by Ejikeme Irozuru, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in March 2025. The building underwent multiple heat/hot water-related complaints in early 2022, with several instances where HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported issues.

Between January 2022 and March 2025, there were various emergency complaints including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), a water leak with heavy flow, and an electric/gas range appliance problem, though HPD inspections typically resulted in either no violations being issued or conditions being reported as corrected. Recent inspections in 2023-2024 have revealed several open violations that require attention, including missing balusters and defective risers in the public hall stairs, though one violation related to skylight metal screening was resolved as of May 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent efforts to address issues, with past violations including accumulated refuse in the cellar, broken marble treads in the public hall, and various structural maintenance needs being addressed as of 2022. Notably, there were no rodent-related issues reported in the most recent inspections (2017, 2015, and 2012), indicating general compliance with building maintenance standards in this regard. The building's age (1930) and history of heating system complaints suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining basic services, though most recent service requests have been promptly addressed, as evidenced by the rapid response times in 2025.
