863 Fairmount Place, Bronx, NY 10460

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 863 Fairmount Place in Tremont, owned by Long Lin, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly documented through multiple complaints in May 2025. Ten separate service requests were filed on May 13, 2025, including concerns about unsanitary conditions (pests), issues with cabinets, problems with the bell/intercom system, flooring concerns, water leak incidents, and door/frame maintenance needs. While most of these complaints received HPD attention, inspections were generally unable to be completed, with closure notes suggesting residents re-file if problems persist.

Among the complaints, two were categorized as emergencies: a water leak with heavy flow and an instance of mold. Additional inspections in early 2024 identified several violations in Apartment 1B, including issues with plaster surfaces, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and various appliance problems, particularly in the kitchen. The building's history shows ongoing pest management challenges, with rat activity documented in inspections from 2025, including both initial and compliance inspections in March and January 2025, respectively.

The property has maintained a bedbug-free record over multiple annual reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, showing zero infested or re-infested units. Compliance violations issued in 2024 included requirements for carbon monoxide detection notices and gas leak procedures. While some maintenance issues have been resolved (as indicated by "closed" status in violation records), the frequency and variety of recent complaints suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The building, completed in 2013, has undergone various inspections and complaints processing through HPD, with most recent records focused on general maintenance and pest control issues.
