1234 Intervale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

At 1234 Intervale Avenue in East Morrisania, this 3-unit, 3-story building constructed in 1925 has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. Most notably, there is an ongoing concern regarding failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2024, all of which remain open. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints in both November 2018 and January 2019, though these were reportedly resolved.

A particularly serious incident occurred in May 2019 when fire damage was reported in both the first and third-floor apartments, resulting in multiple violations including debris on fire escapes, refuse accumulation in the rear yard, and broken window panes in public areas. The property currently faces significant penalties for multiple violations related to failure to correct previously cited issues, with active ECB violations from 2021 totaling $100,000 in penalties. These include non-compliance with various commissioner orders issued between 2019 and 2020, potentially indicating ongoing maintenance and safety concerns.

The building's rodent inspection history shows one instance of rat activity in July 2022, though prior and subsequent inspections in 2022 showed compliance with health standards. While there have been several construction-related complaints filed with the Department of Buildings between 2019 and 2025, most were closed with no violations found, though one related to building shaking/vibrating in May 2019 resulted in a full vacate order. The property has also undergone multiple local law audits, with the most recent in July 2025 showing a partially rescinded stop work order.
