5807 Liebig Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471

The three-unit residential building at 5807 Liebig Avenue in North Riverdale, currently owned by Kong Chen and constructed in 1960, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. In late 2020, Apartment 2 on the second floor reported multiple problems including water-related issues, with violations documented for leaky faucets in the bathroom, water leaks at the door header, defective plaster surfaces, and a non-functioning carbon monoxide detector.

These issues were categorized under the Housing Maintenance Code as Class B violations. The building experienced a concerning structural issue in January 2022, with a complaint about building shaking or vibration stability, which was followed by a Department of Buildings inspection that resulted in an Oath Violation.

This same month, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding water damage in the garage (with approximately 1' x 3' of ceiling missing) and a detached, loose corner channel at the main entry overhang related to balcony drainage; this violation resulted in a $625 penalty, which has since been resolved. While many of these issues have been formally closed in the records, the history suggests a pattern of water-related problems and occasional maintenance concerns that have required attention over the past several years.
