319 Beekman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

The 3-story, 2-family house at 319 Beekman Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Shlomo Denti, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being multiple unresolved conditions reported in February 2025 that include heat/hot water issues, plumbing problems, and various unsanitary conditions including mold, pests, and door/windown repairs. While some complaints from this recent batch were officially closed, their resolution status indicates HPD was unable to complete inspections, leaving questions about whether these issues have been adequately addressed. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 2, with violations for mold (both visible and source-related), broken kitchen cabinet doors, bathroom ceiling problems, window issues, and pest infestations, including a notable case of roach infestation in 2022.

The property, built in 2007, has generally passed rodent inspections since 2010, with no bedbug infestations reported in recent years. However, significant violations from 2023 show persistent issues with mold and water problems, including a 2022 violation for hot water exceeding 130°F in the kitchen. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of similar issues recurring over time, with various classes of violations (A, B, C) being issued and subsequently closed.

Of particular note is a recent illegal conversion complaint entered in February 2025, which resulted in a violation being served in July 2025, suggesting potential unauthorized alterations to the property's original configuration. The property shows a concerning pattern of moisture-related problems, with multiple complaints and violations related to mold, water issues, and unsanitary conditions. While some violations have been certified as corrected, the building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety. The absence of recent bedbug reports and consistent rodent inspection passes are positive indicators, though the building's age (2007) may limit the severity of maintenance issues compared to older structures.
