1238 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 3-unit residential building at 1238 Hoe Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Jun Jun Weng and constructed in 1999, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent and troubling pattern of heat and hot water system failures, with four emergency complaints reported between November 10 and November 30, 2024, three of which resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspection.

One of these complaints did result in violations being issued, though specific details were not provided in the available data. In April 2024, multiple inspections were conducted for various issues, including plumbing problems with the bathtub/shower system and an electrical wiring concern, both of which resulted in violations. Additional non-emergency issues included problems with the building's intercom system.

On a somewhat more positive note, the building has demonstrated effective pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the 2022-2023 reporting period and no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. While some plumbing and electrical issues were documented in 2024, the absence of violations in these specific cases suggests these problems may have been addressed promptly. However, the repeated nature of the heat and hot water system complaints, particularly in late 2024, stands out as the most significant ongoing maintenance challenge facing the building.
