1062 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1062 Longfellow Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930 in the Longwood neighborhood of the Bronx, currently owned by Gevan Chandoo. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years.

In 2022, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented, including problems with self-closing doors at the roof bulkhead and infestations of roaches in apartment 1A, along with encumbrances in common areas. The property had significant compliance issues in 2019-2020 when the Department of Buildings identified unauthorized construction in the cellar level, involving full-height partition walls, new bathroom facilities, and utility installations, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations.

While the initial penalty was $2,500, records show that subsequent violations in early 2020 were resolved with no balance due. The building's maintenance record shows regular bedbug reporting from 2021 through present, with all reports indicating zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management practices. Additionally, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2017, indicating no rodent issues, and most recently, three consecutive bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 show no infestation issues during those periods.
