346 Brook Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

346 Brook Avenue is a 6-unit, 4-story residential building located in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the Bronx, built in 1920 and currently owned by Raymond Eshaghoff. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented complaints in 2019 (apartment only) and 2022 (entire building), though in both cases, the problem was reportedly resolved before HPD intervention. A significant water leak was reported in July 2022, classified as "heavy flow," but HPD was unable to access the affected areas to investigate.

The building has faced several safety and maintenance compliance challenges, particularly during a July 2022 inspection that revealed multiple open violations including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and various safety notice requirements. While some of these violations were subsequently closed, others remain open, including the need to post gas leak procedures and proper safety notices in common areas. The building's most recent inspection history shows improvement in bedbug management, with the 2024 report indicating no infestations or treatment requirements.

Regular rodent inspections since 2010 show generally positive results, with the only recorded rat activity occurring in August 2011, and all subsequent inspections have passed. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2015, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing no active infestations. While the building has a long history of passing rodent inspections, the repeated heat and hot water issues, along with various safety notice violations, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in some areas.
