498 Concord Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 498 Concord Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Sergio Benitez Jr. and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable events in recent years, with particular emphasis on July 2023 when multiple urgent maintenance issues were reported simultaneously.

On July 10, 2023, complaints regarding cooking gas issues and a lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building were filed with both 311 and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Unfortunately, in both cases, the HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, resulting in the closure of these complaints with a noted requirement for re-filing if the issues persisted. These incidents were categorized as emergency complaints under the Housing Maintenance Code.

In terms of pest control, the building's bedbug reporting record for the period spanning November 2022 to October 2023 shows no reported infestations, with zero dwelling units affected, eradicated, or re-infested. This suggests either effective pest management protocols in place or a lack of bedbug issues during the reporting period. However, it should be noted that the bedbug reporting system only tracks infestations within the specified reporting period, and previous conditions prior to November 2022 are not captured in this dataset.
