1193 Pierce Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-unit residential building at 1193 Pierce Avenue in Morris Park, currently owned by Helen Coyle, has experienced several recurring issues over the past five years. Most notably, in January 2019, there were multiple emergency service complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with three separate incidents recorded between January 10 and January 24.

While heat and hot water were reportedly restored in subsequent complaints, these disruptions indicate potential concerns with the building's heating infrastructure. More recently, the building has faced regulatory compliance issues, with four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. The most recent of these violations remains open as of April 2024.

While there was a concerning pattern of bedbug report violations, it's worth noting that the building passed a rodent compliance inspection in February 2023, though it failed an initial inspection in December 2022 for unspecified reasons. The building, constructed in 1910, is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" and spans three stories. The most pressing current issue appears to be the ongoing bedbug report compliance violations, while the heating system's past issues suggest monitoring of infrastructure maintenance may be warranted.
