50 West Gun Hill Road, Bronx, NY 10467

The 49-unit, 6-story building at 50 West Gun Hill Road in Norwood, owned by Gunhill Realty Group LLC, has experienced significant ongoing challenges with its heating and hot water systems, particularly noted during winter months. Most recently, in January 2025, there were two emergency heat/hot water complaints that were promptly addressed, following a pattern of multiple similar complaints recorded in December 2024.

These heating issues appear to have persisted through various months, with multiple apartment-specific and building-wide complaints being filed and subsequently closed. The building has also faced several infrastructure challenges, including a Class C violation in December 2024 regarding a defective self-closing door in Apartment 6B. The property has a concerning history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2024 showing rat activity and requirements for bait application.

Heating system access issues have been a recurring theme, with violations noted for locked boiler room doors during inspections in December 2023, February 2024, and various other dates. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the last several reporting periods, and has maintained an active response to both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, the repeated nature of heating system issues and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (built in 1939) and history of service requests indicate that while many issues are being addressed, there are recurring problems that affect resident comfort and building systems reliability.
