1568 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-family residence at 1568 Longfellow Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Michael Simms, has experienced several notable incidents since its construction in 1996. The most significant period of concern occurred in July 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, specifically involving pests and mold in Basement Apartment 1. This led to violations being issued for roach and mice infestations, though these were certified as resolved by July 26, 2019.

The property also faced other compliance issues during this period, including violations related to an improperly installed air conditioner and a non-compliant washer/dryer setup in public areas. The building's more recent history shows improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported between 2020-2021, and a passing rodent inspection in July 2022. A potential compliance issue was noted in December 2020 regarding an unauthorized expansion of a curb cut, though this was subsequently resolved without penalty.

The property has maintained a fairly consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2010 through 2022, suggesting stabilized pest management following the 2019 incidents. Additionally, a permit was issued in December 2020 for unspecified work, though records do not indicate any associated violations. The building appears to have recovered from its 2019 pest issues, with no recurring complaints or violations of similar nature in recent years.
