1543 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-unit, three-story building at 1543 Hoe Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Cesily Rosario, was constructed in 1901 as a New Law Tenement. The property has ongoing housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024.

A significant point of concern is the building's exterior condition, particularly evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in 2020 regarding the north side wall's maintenance, specifically noting issues with spalling and loose stucco. While these violations were subsequently resolved, there was a failure to initially certify correction of an immediately hazardous class 1 ECB violation, though this was later dismissed in March 2021. The building's safety and maintenance history shows a concerning pattern from 2020 onwards, including two Department of Buildings complaints related to electrical wiring issues in June 2020 (Inspector Unable to Gain Access) and construction work in August 2020 (Oath Violation Served).

An additional ECB violation in March 2021 indicated failure to comply with prior orders, resulting in an outstanding penalty of $3,125. However, the building has demonstrated consistent success in passing rodent inspections, with all previous inspections from 2010 through 2022 showing no issues. Three electrical work permits were issued between 2018 and 2020, suggesting ongoing electrical system maintenance or improvements, though the building's recent code violation patterns raise questions about compliance with all required maintenance protocols.
