1007 Woodycrest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The three-story, two-family house at 1007 Woodycrest Avenue, owned by Clarissa Mercedes, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating and pest problems. Most notably, in February 2025, there were multiple complaints about heating issues and electrical problems, with at least one heat violation issued during this period.

The building has also faced persistent rodent challenges, with the Department of Health conducting rat inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, showing regular rat activity and the application of bait in response to ongoing infestations. Previous violations include a notable gas supply issue in August 2019 affecting the kitchen range in the second-floor apartment, which was ultimately resolved.

The property has a documented history of unsanitary conditions, particularly in 2024, when complaints were filed regarding garbage/recycling storage and pest problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. While the building has passed several rodent inspections in 2023 and early 2024, the consistent pattern of rodent activity and the recent heating system problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1899) and relatively small size (three units) may present unique maintenance challenges, and the pattern of complaints suggests issues with prompt resolution of building concerns.
