1384 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The five-story, 11-unit tenement building at 1384 Prospect Avenue in Morrisania, owned by Cpe Equities Llc, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout its recent history. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple emergency complaints regarding heating and hot water systems, including two building-wide incidents in early 2024 and late 2023, as well as a cooking gas emergency in January 2023.

The building's maintenance records reveal significant issues particularly focused on apartment 1A, which required multiple repairs including addressing water leaks, mold conditions, and deficiencies in hot water delivery between 2022 and 2023. Apartment 5B was cited in January 2023 for paint condition violations. The property has undergone various inspections and complaint investigations, including a rodent inspection in July 2022 that passed, following several years of mixed results between 2010 and 2017.

Infrastructure concerns have included water leak issues documented in September 2022, and a series of heating system complaints in November 2022, all of which were closed after inspection. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no cases reported in the last five annual reporting periods from 2020 to 2025, and passed pest inspections indicate some improvement in pest management. Housing Maintenance Code violations have generally been addressed and certified as closed, with all recent heating and maintenance issues being officially resolved through inspections or occupant verification, though the recurring nature of heat and hot water complaints suggests this system remains a persistent concern.
