1348 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 1348 Prospect Avenue in Morrisania, owned by Jesus Lopez and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in early 2023, though many were duplicates of previously reported issues. The building faced a power outage in July 2024, and July 2023 saw multiple plumbing and water supply complaints.

While the building passed its most recent rodent inspection in July 2022, it previously had issues with both mice and cockroach infestations, particularly in Basement Apartment 1, as documented in violations from 2020-2021. The property has consistent records of bedbug reporting requirements being met, with the most recent report from August 2024 indicating no infested units during the 2022-2023 period. The building's violation history shows some areas of concern, including an open Class C violation from January 2023 regarding mouse infestation in Basement Apartment 1.

While several emergency complaints were resolved, including bathroom painting requirements and heating system access issues, the property has demonstrated ongoing challenges with basic services such as water supply, heat, and electrical systems. Regular bedbug inspections between 2019-2024 have generally shown compliance, though the 2021 report indicated one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated. The building, which is classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, has required attention to various maintenance issues ranging from basic utilities to pest control, with many problems requiring multiple complaints before resolution.
