983 Summit Avenue, Bronx

14 open violations and a summer pileup of water leaks in a 9-unit building.

For a small pre-war property, a double-digit stack of open housing violations is a clear warning that basic repairs are falling behind. Recent tenant complaints show these maintenance struggles are active and unresolved. Three things to know:

Active code violations average more than one per apartment. With 14 open violations across just nine units, basic maintenance is falling behind. None of these are currently flagged as the most hazardous tier, but a stack this size on a small property shows that repairs aren't being closed out or officially certified with the city.

Eight indoor air quality complaints within three blocks. There have been eight complaints about indoor air quality and fumes on the surrounding blocks over the past year, with the most recent logged in April 2026. In dense pre-war pockets, these signals often point to HVAC or riser bleed from neighboring retail or restaurant spaces, which is impossible to notice during a quick daytime tour.

Five maintenance complaints filed on a single summer day. On July 9, 2026, residents logged five separate issues, including mold, slow water leaks, sink plumbing, and broken cabinets. When multiple water and plumbing complaints hit on the same day in a small building, it usually means a single leak is traveling down a riser through multiple apartments.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 🔥 16 heat and hot water complaints on file, including a cluster of building-wide outages in March and April 2026
• 🗑️ 871 dirty-condition complaints within three blocks over the last year, with 823 specifically naming trash on the streets
• 🐀 396 rodent complaints within three blocks last year, though the building itself only has one pest report on file
