26 Bedford Park Blvd, Bronx, NY 10468

26 Bedford Park Blvd is a 5-story, 69-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Salvatore Iuso. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with eight documented complaints between January and April 2025, including four emergency heat/hot water complaints in April alone. These recent problems are particularly concerning given that there were also multiple heating system violations recorded in December 2024, including one noting that the heating system door was locked at the boiler room.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent maintenance challenges, with multiple unsanitary conditions reported, including pest infestations, though inspections in early 2025 were unable to gain access for verification. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing both passed and failed results between 2021 and 2024, including failed compliance inspections in 2023 and 2024. The property has undergone several inspections and maintenance actions, with multiple violations recorded in December 2024 for Apartment C3, including inadequate heating and hot water issues, broken floor tiles, an inoperable radiator, and a pest infestation that required abatement.

Additionally, there are records of previous bedbug infestations, with the most recent report in December 2024 showing zero infested dwelling units, though there was one reported case in 2023. The building's permits from 2019 show issued work permits, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the provided data. The consistent pattern of heating system failures, pest issues, and the building's age suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted despite various interventions and inspections.
