1000 Freeman Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The 73-unit, 6-story building at 1000 Freeman Street in East Morrisania, owned by Jose Robles, has a considerable history of maintenance issues and violations since its construction in 1931. Most recently, as of October 2023, there are multiple active violations related to exterior maintenance and safety requirements, including failure to submit required facade inspection reports (FISP Cycle 9A), and a significant violation involving failure to file acceptable amended reports regarding unsafe conditions.

The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple service requests and violations related to leaks between 2022-2024, including heavy flow water leaks and damp spots. Apartment 5E has several open violations from October 2023 related to water leaks, defective plastered surfaces, and missing safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of infrastructure concerns, including multiple complaints about paint/plaster issues, window and door problems, and three side sidewalk shed-related violations in 2023.

While the property has maintained a clean record for pest-related issues, showing no bedbug infestations in recent filings between 2023-2025, there have been several rodent inspections with mixed results, including evidence of rat activity in 2022. The Department of Buildings has issued multiple violations regarding the failure to submit required reports and maintain safety systems, with active penalties totaling over $30,000 as of 2024. Despite these ongoing issues, many recent service requests have been closed without violations being issued, suggesting some responsiveness to maintenance complaints, though this may not fully address the history of recurring issues.
