796 Courtlandt Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451
The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 796 Courtlandt Avenue in Melrose, owned by Maurice Mckenzie, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1931. The building experienced significant heat and hot water issues in late December 2021, prompting emergency complaints to both 311 and HPD, though these issues were reportedly resolved shortly thereafter.
There have been recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting, with the most recent inspection in March 2023 noting a violation for failure to file the annual bedbug report. The building also has two active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations for failing to file required inspections: one for the 2021 external low-pressure inspection (issued June 2023) and another for the 2017 boiler inspection (issued November 2019).
Recent inspections and filings indicate some improvement in pest management, with the bedbug reports for 2022-2024 showing zero infested units, though there were previous violations in 2020-2021. The building has passed its most recent rodent inspections in July 2025 and March 2023, marking a positive trend in pest control, especially compared to the multiple bait applications and rat activity documented between 2010 and 2012. The building's management has shown responsiveness to certain issues, as evidenced by the quick resolution of the heat and hot water complaints in 2021, though the persistence of some violations suggests areas requiring continued attention.
