1425 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459
1425 Longfellow Avenue is a 10-unit, 3-story residential building in East Morrisania, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Joe Lefko. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a sewage leak in December 2024 and multiple pest-related complaints. In August 2024 alone, there were several complaints regarding pests, a fire escape safety issue, door and window problems, bell/intercom issues, and ventilation system concerns - though most of these complaints could not be inspected due to access issues.
A sewage complaint was formally investigated in December 2024 by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations. Other notable maintenance history includes the building's compliance with rodent inspections, passing seven consecutive inspections from 2010 to 2022. The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting, with the most recent reports for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.
Housing Maintenance Code violations from previous years include several related to lighting requirements at the building entrance, dating back to 1985, and annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2023. While many of these older violations have been closed, the recent cluster of August 2024 complaints and the December 2024 sewage incident suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's most recent documentation shows that there are no active bedbug infestations, though there was a period during 2024 when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect multiple complaints, which were subsequently closed with instructions to refile if issues persisted.
