513 Tinton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 513 Tinton Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Roberto Otero and constructed in 1995, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, a cluster of problems emerged in early 2024, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints and violations being recorded between March and May 2024.

These issues included water leaks with heavy flow, window frame problems, ventilation system concerns, pest-related matters, and various paint/plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings. While many of these complaints were addressed and closed, they resulted in several open violations as of May 2024, particularly in apartment 12, including problems with bathroom floor tiles, window spring balances, plastered surfaces, and a kitchen ceiling ventilation fan.

The building's maintenance history shows some positive aspects, including a passed rodent inspection in August 2023, though there have been previous rodent activity issues noted in 2010 and 2017. The property has maintained an active response to bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the most recent reporting period (April 2024), covering the previous two years. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, the owner has generally responded to complaints through HPD inspections and violations issuance, though as of the latest available data, several open violations remain in apartment 12 that require attention, specifically regarding various repair needs including ceiling surfaces, window components, and bathroom fixtures.
