1466 Needham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 3-story, 4-unit building at 1466 Needham Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Percy Mumby, has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025, with numerous complaints regarding heat and hot water problems continuing into April 2025. The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, particularly with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple HPD service requests and failed inspections in 2025, with the most recent compliance inspection in June 2025 also resulting in failure.

The property has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024, including issues with apartment 3C's safety equipment (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and door hardware. Previous inspections revealed a pattern of mechanical systems and safety equipment deficiencies, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints and unsanitary conditions reports. The building's history includes repeated failures to comply with rodent control requirements, as shown by multiple unsuccessful inspections between 2018 and 2025.

Safety compliance has also been a concern, with violations including defective self-closing doors, lack of proper safety equipment, and overdue annual bedbug reports. While some violations from 2020-2022 were addressed and closed, many remain open as of 2024-2025, particularly those related to pest control and safety systems. The building appears to have ongoing challenges with both basic services and safety compliance, as evidenced by the frequency and nature of the complaints and inspections over recent years, with particular attention required to the unresolved nature of many recent service requests and violations.
