1920 Hennessy Place, Bronx, NY 10453

1920 Hennessy Place is a 5-story, 17-unit residential building located in University Heights and constructed in 1927, currently owned by Jansen Terrero. The property has experienced ongoing heating system issues, with multiple heat and hot water complaints filed between 2024 and 2025, including emergencies in January and November 2025. During the past two years, there have been eight separate heat-related complaints, with varying degrees of resolution - some resulting in violations, while others were marked as corrected upon HPD verification.

The building's maintenance history shows significant code violations related to various safety concerns, including security issues with roof access, damaged glass panels, self-closing door problems, and missing window guards, many of which were documented in August 2024 inspections. A water leak complaint from March 2024 and an appliance issue regarding a refrigerator in July 2024 were also recorded, though these were eventually closed. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results between 2017 and 2025, including periods of rat activity noted in 2022 and 2024.

Recent Department of Buildings records show an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2018 external low-pressure inspection documentation. Historical records from 2018 indicate electrical code violation issues that resulted in fines for the property. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past several reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, with no infestations or eradications reported. A gas utility referral complaint from December 2023 was inspected and found to have no violations.
