996 Findlay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, five-unit building at 996 Findlay Avenue, constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly between 2023 and 2025. The property has a concerning pattern of plumbing, heating, and electrical problems, including two notable heat/hot water complaints in May 2023 (one affecting the entire building and one specific to an apartment), an electrical power outage in August 2023, and multiple plumbing-related issues involving sinks, toilets, and water supply throughout 2023.

The building has also faced pest management challenges, with violations issued in May 2023 for unsanitary conditions related to pests and sewage, and multiple instances of rat activity documented between 2023 and 2025, though recent inspections in May 2025 passed compliance. The building's maintenance history shows some progress, with several violations from 2022-2023 being addressed, including the removal of infestations in Apartment 2A and repairs to the sink basin.

However, as of August 2023, there remain two open violations: one related to an improperly posted heating system key notice in the first-story public hall, and another regarding the building's registration number sign. The property has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods, and while there were multiple violations and complaints between 2022 and 2023, many of these were resolved through inspections and certified corrections. The building has also demonstrated regular compliance with rodent inspections, though initial inspections often indicate rat activity, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest control that are being addressed through subsequent compliance inspections.
