1843 Schieffelin Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

1843 Schieffelin Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in the Edenwald neighborhood of the Bronx, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Lambert Holst. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent problems occurring in January 2023, when multiple heat and hot water complaints were filed by tenants, with one complaint being a duplicate of a previously reported building-wide issue.

These heating problems appear to have persisted despite the complaints being officially closed. The building faced significant sanitation challenges in January 2019, particularly concerning mold issues, with multiple complaints filed between December 2018 and January 2019, resulting in violations being issued for affected areas in the first-floor apartment, specifically noting approximately 10 square feet of mold on the west wall and 4 square feet on the south wall in one room, and 6 square feet on both the west and north walls in another room. All these complaints were ultimately closed, but they indicate a history of moisture-related problems.

The building's documented history also includes one complaint in December 2021 regarding illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone at 10466, though this was investigated in January 2022 with no violations found. While the January 2023 heating issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, it is worth noting that the frequency of complaints has decreased compared to the 2018-2019 period, when multiple mold-related complaints were filed over a relatively short timeframe. The building's various complaints have all been officially closed, though some were marked as requiring further verification or inspection access, indicating potential ongoing maintenance and communication challenges between tenants and housing authorities.
