841 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

841 Longfellow Avenue is a 5-story, 25-unit residential building constructed in 1922 in the Hunts Point neighborhood, currently owned by Kristina Hosch. The property has experienced recurrent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by residents, particularly in April and May 2025.

While some of these complaints were closed following restoration of services, several inspections were either unsuccessful or identified continuing problems. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including an infestation of cockroaches reported in Apartment 2A in November 2024, and multiple safety violations related to fire escape maintenance. Inspections in late 2024 identified several code violations regarding roof access doors, including defective self-closing mechanisms and unauthorized modifications, though most of these were subsequently closed following appropriate corrections.

The property has maintained a generally clean record regarding bedbug and rodent infestations, with no bedbug cases reported since 2019 and recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 showing improved conditions, passing all inspections except for one in February 2024 which showed rat activity. A significant administrative issue occurred in 2019 when the building failed to file required technical reports, though this violation was eventually dismissed in 2020. Despite these various issues, the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by multiple corrections made following inspections, though the recurring nature of heating system problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
