1144 Lydig Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 6-story, 48-unit residential building at 1144 Lydig Avenue in Morris Park, owned by Patrick Cavallo, has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with numerous emergency complaints filed between March and April regarding these critical services. The building, constructed in 1964, currently has active violations related to safety equipment in apartment 2C, including missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and previous heating and water temperature issues.

A December 2024 inspection revealed multiple open violations in apartment 6D concerning roof leaks and inadequate hot water pressure. The building's maintenance history shows recurring heating system problems, with eight heat/hot water-related complaints between March and April 2025, many of which resulted in investigations where access was not granted or conditions had improved by the time of inspection. Previous inspections and violations indicate ongoing infrastructure challenges, including an active ECB violation from October 2024 for exterior facade maintenance issues on the north and west sides of the building.

The elevator system has been a concern, with two active complaints filed in December 2024 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service. The building's historical complaint record shows periodic concerns about structural stability, as evidenced by multiple shaking/vibration complaints in 2019, though these were ultimately dismissed upon inspection. While the property has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2015 and 2023, it had shown some maintenance issues requiring permits for work in 2019 and 2021, particularly regarding electrical and plumbing systems.
