1679 Popham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
1679 Popham Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building in Morris Heights, constructed in 1933 and currently owned by Craig Livingston. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with an alarming pattern of complaints in early 2025 (March through January) all categorized as emergencies by Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
While many of these complaints were officially closed after verification of corrections, the frequency of such complaints suggests an ongoing thermal maintenance challenge. Historical records show similar heating-related issues between 2018 and 2021, indicating this has been a persistent problem over multiple years. The building has undergone various maintenance inspections and repairs, with notable violations in 2021 regarding unit 2B including issues with the refrigerator door gasket, bathroom window, and ceiling plaster.
In 2018, the building received violations related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements in the first-story public hall, though these were certified as corrected in late 2018. Recent inspections show compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, though there was extensive bait application in 2016. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports (2021-2025) showing zero infested units and successful eradication efforts.
