Prewar Bronx HDFC co-op facing open housing-code violations and an active heat complaint history.
Built in 1907, this 38-unit prewar building operates under an HDFC structure, keeping it bound to affordability regulations rather than standard market resale paths. The physical record shows significant active maintenance friction and active code flags that warrant close inspection. Three things to know:
Seventeen open violations sit on file, led by four Class C citations. The building carries 17 open housing-code violations, including four Class C immediately hazardous citations. Recent May 2026 citations in Apartment 3F cover water leaks, damaged plaster, missing paint, and defective self-closing entrance doors. Older open items include entrance lock security and missing key notices in common areas.
Nearly one hundred heat and hot water complaints indicate ongoing boiler issues. Heating stability is a primary operational friction point, with 98 heat and hot water complaints logged against the building. The record shows open citations for missing keys to the heating system and general hot water delivery failures across multiple units.
Surrounding blocks see heavy residential noise and curb friction. Within three blocks of the building, 174 residential noise calls were logged over the last year, primarily for loud music and party noise. Another 88 calls cited illegal parking, heavily concentrated around blocked hydrants and double-parked vehicles along the immediate streets.
