1281 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 9-story, 45-unit residential building at 1281 Hoe Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Mark Shakarov, has experienced several maintenance issues since its 2021 construction. Most recently, in 2025, there are multiple open complaints regarding water leaks, flooring problems, heat/hot water issues, window frame concerns, and wall maintenance that require attention. These complaints follow a pattern from 2024-2025 where similar issues emerged, including problems with appliances such as refrigerators and ranges, as well as flooring and ceiling maintenance matters.

The building previously underwent construction in 2021-2022, during which time there were several safety-related complaints and violations regarding safety nets and guard rails, though inspections generally found no violations warranting action. A sprinkler system issue requiring an Oath violation was identified and served in May 2025, representing the most recent safety concern. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly regarding water systems and general maintenance.

However, it is worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases from the inspection periods covering 2021-2024. While many past complaints have been resolved through inspections, the persistence of similar issues, particularly in recent months, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has experienced various non-emergency issues related to flooring, heating, and appliances, indicating potential areas requiring continued monitoring and attention.
