1092 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 1092 Longfellow Avenue, owned by Chetram Singh and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably related to heating and hot water problems. The building has recorded three emergency heat/hot water complaints in the past two years (2022-2024), with the most recent complaints in December 2023 and January 2024 involving the entire building, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The property has also been cited for failure to file annual bedbug reports in 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023, though recent bedbug filings indicate no infestation (2022-2023 and 2023-2024 reports show zero infested or re-infested units). Significant violations emerged from 2018 inspections of Apartment 1R, including issues with a roach infestation, defective plastered surfaces in the bathroom, an illegal locking device on the door, and inadequate electrical service to fixtures. While some of these violations were marked as "Open" in 2018, subsequent reports and inspections suggest they may have been addressed.

The building experienced a power outage and door issue in July 2018, both categorized as immediate emergencies. In 2020, there was an environmental violation regarding building wall maintenance at the rear, with documented cracking in the stucco, which resulted in a $620 penalty. The property underwent regular rodent inspections from 2010-2017, with all showing "Passed" results, indicating generally good pest control management in recent years.
