1019 Trinity Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1019 Trinity Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Josue Velazquez. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints filed in 2025 alone. Of particular concern are recurring pest problems, as evidenced by multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold between February and April 2025.

The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including issues with doors/windows, plumbing (bathtub/shower, toilet, sink), and flooring/steps. Notably, there are three open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of Spring 2025, including one from August 2023 regarding a roach and mice infestation in apartment 1A. The property has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2022 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of pest-related issues, with violations documented in apartments 1A and 1B over several years.

While recent bedbug reporting (May 2025) indicates no current infestations, previous inspections have shown a mix of results regarding rodent control, with the most recent inspection in 2022 passing. The property has also had various plumbing issues requiring attention, including problems with fixtures in multiple units. Some improvements to building systems have been documented, but the persistence of pest and sanitation issues raises ongoing concerns about the overall maintenance and habitability of the property. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement suggest it has undergone various modifications and repairs over the years, but the recent pattern of complaints indicates that maintenance challenges continue to require attention.
