5614 Broadway, Bronx, NY 10463

The three-story, two-family house at 5614 Broadway in Kingsbridge, owned by Mark Lipton, has a documented history of maintenance issues since mid-2021, with the most recent problems occurring in July 2024 involving water supply/plumbing issues that resulted in emergency complaints, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections. The building experienced significant challenges in late 2021, when multiple violations were documented in the second-floor apartment (2NDFLO), including problems with heating/hot water, plumbing (bathtub/shower), window safety, and various sanitary conditions, with particular concerns about lead paint hazards, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and the need for repairs to multiple surfaces.

The property has multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to external low pressure inspection filings from 2018 through 2024, indicating persistent non-compliance with this safety requirement. Prior to the 2021-2024 period, the building had relatively fewer documented issues, with rodent inspections from 2013-2018 passing successfully.

Historical records from 2021 show various maintenance needs, including problems with the intercom system, doors/windows, and plumbing. While most complaints have been resolved (either through inspections or repairs), there are several open violations from November 2021 related to lead paint, carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing fixtures, and multiple instances of pest infestations in the second-floor apartment that remain unresolved as of the most recent data update. The building, constructed in 1910, has undergone typical urban wear and tear, though the concentration of violations and complaints during 2021-2024 suggests a period of particularly notable maintenance challenges, particularly impacting the second-floor unit.
