788 Arnow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467
The 6-story, 55-unit residential building at 788 Arnow Avenue in Allerton, owned by Joseph Schweid, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there was a recurring pattern of heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints between March and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These heating system problems occurred despite previous violations in December 2024 regarding access to the building's heating system and hot water supply issues documented in apartment A7 and multiple other units.
The building has also faced significant infrastructure concerns, including active Environmental Control Board violations from November 2024 regarding the building's exterior facade, with documented spalling bricks and structural issues, as well as fire escape access problems. Recent inspections have revealed several maintenance violations that require attention, including Class B and C violations related to mold, plumbing issues, and elevator service concerns. The elevator system has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints between March 2024 and August 2024 regarding its operation and lack of alternate service, though some inspections found no violations at the time. While the building has recorded no bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2025) and had mixed results in rodent inspections, with some showing rat activity in 2024, the frequency of heating system complaints and the presence of structural violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
The property has several active DOB violations as of 2025 related to spalling bricks, damaged elements, and unfiled annual inspections dating back to 2018-2021. Records show consistent efforts by HPD to address complaints, though access issues often hindered complete inspections. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of recurring issues with basic services and infrastructure, with the most recent concerns centering around heating systems and structural elements. The property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug and rodent reporting requirements, though inspections have produced varying results.
