920 Melrose Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

920 Melrose Avenue is a 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Paul Moore. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant complaint being filed in April 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, which was resolved by September 2023. The property has a history of plumbing problems, particularly affecting water supply systems, with multiple complaints filed between 2018 and 2020.

Other documented issues include electrical problems (2019), heating concerns (2022), and various unsanitary conditions, particularly related to garbage storage (2019, 2023). A comprehensive inspection in 2018 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 4A, including issues with water supply, plumbing fixtures, smoke detector functionality, carbon monoxide detection, and an illegally installed air conditioning unit affecting fire escape access, though these violations were subsequently closed. Recent records from 2024-2025 show ongoing pest management activity, with multiple rodent inspections and bait applications reported between February and May 2025.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows generally low infestation rates, with only one unit affected in 2021, though recent reports (2022-2024) indicate no active infestations. The most recent Department of Buildings inspection in May 2025 regarding the boiler system found no violations warranting further action. Notably, the building's property management has maintained regular bedbug and rodent control reporting, suggesting ongoing attention to pest management issues. The combination of historical maintenance issues and recent pest management activity indicates that while some problems have been addressed, recurring maintenance challenges remain a feature of this property.
