1463 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 22-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1463 Hoe Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Thoma Beno and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heat and water systems. Most recently, from March to June 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with at least one slow water leak complaint being resolved in November 2024.

The building has a documented pattern of plumbing and thermal system problems, with similar issues reported in 2020 and 2024, including multiple heat and hot water complaints in March 2024 alone. Recent housing maintenance code violations in February 2024 in Apartment 1 included defective bathroom tiles, leaky faucets, and various other maintenance issues, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The property has passed recent bedbug inspections from 2019 to 2024, with no reported infestations, and maintained compliance with rodent inspections, achieving "Passed" results in 2016, 2018, 2022, and more recently in 2024.

However, there remains an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file annual boiler inspection reports for 2017. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and recurring issues, with the most significant recent problems concentrated around heat, hot water, and plumbing systems, particularly during the 2024 period. While many individual complaints have been addressed and closed by HPD, the frequency and nature of the heating system problems suggest ongoing challenges with building systems requiring continued monitoring.
