1839 Andrews Avenue South, Bronx, NY 10453

The property at 1839 Andrews Avenue South in Morris Heights is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by PHH Mortgage Corporation and classified as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" building. The most significant recent issues documented in the building's history occurred in November 2020, when multiple emergency complaints were filed simultaneously on November 12th relating to various maintenance problems.

These included reports of heavy water leaks, ceiling paint/plaster issues, and unsanitary mold conditions, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between November 12th and 16th. While these complaints were ultimately closed without any violations being issued, the simultaneous occurrence of multiple maintenance issues in a single month suggests a period of concerning building conditions, particularly given that mold and water-related problems can significantly impact resident health and comfort.

The building's documented history shows that all the listed complaints were resolved within approximately four to five days, from the time they were reported to being closed, with the HPD providing inspections of the reported conditions. While no violations were ultimately issued in connection with these incidents, the concentration of multiple connected issues during this brief period raises questions about the building's maintenance oversight during that time frame. Since these incidents occurred in late 2020, and with no further documented complaints or violations on record through October 2023, it remains uncertain whether these were isolated incidents or indicative of broader maintenance challenges.
