63 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10454

63 Bruckner Boulevard is a 4-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Moshe Altmark. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing repeated rat activity and the application of bait. Most recently, in August 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations related to rodent activity, marking this as an ongoing concern. The building has a documented history of various maintenance and safety issues, particularly concentrated in apartment 3.

Significant incidents between 2019 and 2021 included problems with heat and hot water (affecting both individual apartments and the entire building), unsanitary conditions including mold, sewage issues, and pest infestations, as well as safety concerns such as broken window guards. Three violations were issued in 2021 specifically regarding apartment 3, involving unsafe electrical wiring, water leak issues, and problems with self-closing doors. The building's maintenance record shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, consistently indicating zero infested units during these periods, though more recent rodent inspections suggest ongoing pest management challenges. The property has a pattern of heat and hot water issues, with complaints logged in November 2019 and January 2019.

Other notable conditions included a water leak with heavy flow in July 2021, the presence of mold (September 2021), and multiple rodent-related complaints leading to inspections. The building has also had two complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings (2020 and 2019), though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. While there have been multiple violations and complaints over the years, most have been closed through various resolutions, though the ongoing rodent issue appears to remain current. Recently, in May 2025, a new permit was issued (Permit Type: AL) which may indicate current efforts for building improvements or modifications.
