1338 Prospect Avenue, Bronx

A three-family house carrying an open safety violation on the front steps and a history of winter heating complaints.

A 1901 three-family building in the Bronx that shows heating friction and an unresolved entry step hazard. For a small house, the volume of winter heat calls stands out alongside broader block-level noise and air quality signals. Three things to know:

Winter heating outages are a recurring theme. The house carries 94 historical heat and hot water complaints, with multiple filings recorded through February 2026 across both whole-apartment and single-unit spaces. For a three-family structure, that frequency points to recurring winter cold snaps.

An open Class C violation sits at the front steps. The building carries one open Class C immediately hazardous violation from November 3, 2022, for broken concrete on the fourth step from the bottom at the front areaway. Because it remains open, entry safety is something to inspect in person.

Air quality signals register within three blocks. Within three blocks of the building, 8 indoor air quality calls were logged over the last year, with the most recent filed on July 29, 2026. Odor and air quality signals often point to vent or riser bleed from neighboring retail or food spots.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 398 street-noise calls within three blocks last year, mostly for loud music and parties rather than traffic.
• 319 blocked-driveway complaints within three blocks in 12 months, predominantly for lost curb access.
• 157 unsanitary condition calls recorded within three blocks over the past year.
