996 Tinton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

At 996 Tinton Avenue, a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 2004 and owned by Djenabou Kaba, several significant maintenance issues have been documented between 2016 and 2025. Most notably, there are currently four open violations (as of April 2024) related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024. The building has experienced recurring plumbing and water supply issues, with multiple complaints about slow leaks and plumbing fixtures between 2018 and 2022, including documented problems with sinks, bathtubs, and water supply systems.

Safety concerns have also been raised, including broken window guards in 2019 and security issues related to illegal double-cylinder locks on building entrance doors in early 2019. The property has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with initial rat activity noted in February 2017 and multiple bait applications throughout that year. However, more recent rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022 passed successfully, suggesting improved conditions.

Other notable issues include the presence of mold (2019), various appliance problems (2018), and multiple water leak complaints (2018). While many of these complaints were investigated and closed without violations, there were some instances of violations being issued, particularly in December 2018 relating to plumbing issues. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of plumbing-related problems and safety concerns, though many issues appear to have been addressed through inspections and repairs. The most pressing current issue remains the open violations regarding bedbug report filings, which have persisted for multiple years.
