1203 Tinton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1203 Tinton Avenue in Morrisania, owned by Marco Cabrera, has experienced several notable issues since its construction in 2003. Most significantly, in March 2019, there was a heat and hot water emergency that affected the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter. The building has faced recurring challenges with compliance matters, including two annual bedbug report violations in 2021 and 2023 (Class A violations), though recent filings from 2023-2024 show no current infestations.

There are also outstanding safety concerns from 2018 related to building security: a Class C violation regarding an illegally installed double-cylinder lock on the street gate, and a Class B violation concerning self-closing doors at the 2nd-floor apartment, though the latter was resolved by February 2018. The property has maintained generally good rodent control compliance, with most inspections passing, though there were failures noted in late 2016. The building's bedbug management appears to have improved significantly over recent years, with no reported cases in the last three filing periods.

The heat and hot water incident from 2019, while concerning, appears to have been an isolated occurrence. Regular rodent inspections and the recent completion of bedbug control measures indicate some level of ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the management. As of March 2023, all listed violations are marked as closed, though the 2018 door closing mechanism violation and the 2016 street gate lock violation raise historical safety concerns that would merit attention.
