1460 Macombs Road, Bronx, NY 10452

The 1460 Macombs Road building, constructed in 1930, is a 6-story Class A residential property in Mount Eden containing 102 units, currently managed by Buddy Associates LLC D. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with active violations as of September 2024 in unit 5N relating to water leakage, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing issues, and deteriorated ceilings.

Of particular concern are multiple open violations regarding the building's façade, including bulging masonry, damaged window sills, and other exterior maintenance issues documented in 2024 that have resulted in multiple emergency work orders and active ECB violations with significant penalties. Recent service requests show ongoing building maintenance challenges, including an open heavy water leak complaint (April 2025) and recurring unsanitary conditions involving pests and garbage storage issues.

The building has faced structural concerns, as evidenced by complaints regarding building shaking and exterior facade problems in late 2024, and there have been multiple reports of rodent activity throughout 2024-2025. While the property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no confirmed infestations in recent years, the overall maintenance record reveals numerous violations related to plumbing, heat/hot water systems, and building safety systems, including several instances of failure to maintain self-closing doors in multiple units. Recent permits issued in 2025 suggest some ongoing efforts at maintenance and repairs, but the volume and nature of violations raise significant concerns about building conditions and management response.
