702 Eagle Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 702 Eagle Avenue in Longwood, owned by Yosef Grunwald and built in 1920, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints and violations issued between January and March 2025. The building has also faced sanitation challenges, including multiple mold incidents (most recently in April 2025) and a pest infestation problem, primarily concentrated in apartment 1R, which is currently subject to multiple open violations from a September 2024 inspection.

These violations include problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, plumbing issues, and evidence of vermin, including mice and roaches. The building's documented history shows a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance challenges. There are active violations as of 2023 related to external low-pressure inspection failures, and multiple Emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints have been filed throughout 2025, including issues with walls, sewage, and electrical systems.

Previous inspections have noted various problems, including a 2024 complaint about illegal conversions, though inspectors often encountered access issues. The property has maintained an active bedbug-free status over the past three reporting years, with zero reported infestations. While some violations have been resolved, including several dismissed ECB violations from 2020, the building continues to face persistent maintenance challenges that require ongoing attention.
