1412 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-family residence at 1412 Longfellow Avenue in East Morrisania, currently owned by Julio Garcia, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2020, with the most recent incident occurring in May 2024 involving unsanitary conditions related to pests. This 2-story, 2-unit building, constructed in 1910, has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water complaints, particularly in early 2020 when multiple emergency reports were filed between January and December regarding insufficient heating and hot water, though most of these complaints were eventually closed without violations being issued.

The building's pest management history shows some instability, with a significant cluster of pest-related complaints in early 2020, including three unsanitary condition complaints related to pests between January 7 and February 14, 2020. The property's rodent inspection record shows a mix of results over the years, with the most recent inspection in April 2023 resulting in a passing grade, following a period of concerning results in 2022 where rat activity was noted in both July and September inspections.

Prior to this, the building had consistently passed rodent inspections from 2011 through 2018, though there was one failed inspection in October 2012 for "Other Reasons". Despite these maintenance issues, including the recent pest complaint from 2024 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, it's worth noting that multiple heating system complaints in 2020 were resolved either through restoration of services or verification by other tenants. The building's overall violation history appears relatively minimal since 2020, with most complaints being addressed through inspections and subsequent resolutions, though the unsanitary condition complaint from 2024 represents the most recent unresolved issue as of July 2025.
