982 Tinton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 2-family house at 982 Tinton Avenue in Longwood, owned by Shlomo Denti, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning heat and sanitation. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a heat/hot water emergency that resulted in violations being issued by HPD, requiring the owner to address the problem.

This follows a similar heat/hot water emergency in December 2022. The building has also faced rodent infestation challenges, with multiple inspections noting rat activity in 2024 (most recently in October), though it is worth noting that the building passed rodent inspections in 2016-2018. A cluster of complaints in September 2022 indicated various issues including mold, pests, and electrical problems, though violations were not found in these cases.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug concerns, with no reported infestations in the past four years from 2021 through 2024, and all previous infestations (in 2019-2020) were reported as eradicated with no re-infestations. The property's inspection history shows a mix of compliance and violation findings, with the most pressing concerns being the recurring heat/hot water issues and rodent activity. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and status as a 2-family house are consistent with its current classification, and its location in Longwood has remained stable throughout this period.
