1479 Macombs Road, Bronx, NY 10452

The 72-unit, 6-story building at 1479 Macombs Road in Mount Eden, built in 1929 and currently owned by Morgan Magistro, has experienced a series of recurring maintenance issues over the past two years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent occurring in January 2025 and a significant cluster of complaints throughout 2024, including unsanitary conditions related to pests in both July and October of 2024, though inspections were unable to be completed in these instances.

The building has also faced challenges with ventilation systems, plumbing issues, and various door/window problems, including a notable door violation in apartment 6H related to the entrance door between rooms. The property was found to have rodent activity in several inspections throughout 2023 and 2024, with bait applications noted in multiple instances. The building's violation history reveals several areas of concern, particularly in mid-2024 when multiple violations were issued for apartment 6H, including issues with mold, pest infestations, and various maintenance deficiencies.

More recently, in September 2024, a carbon monoxide detector notice requirement was addressed, and multiple building systems and maintenance issues were documented through both Housing Maintenance Code violations and Department of Buildings complaints. A significant environmental control board violation from 2023 noted maintenance issues with the exterior facade, while a 2020 complaint addressed elevator service concerns. The property has maintained an active track record of responding to inspections and complaints, with many violations being properly certified as corrected, though the recurring nature of certain issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
