605 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

605 Prospect Avenue is a 5-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Jack Schnitt. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent months, with significant complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (including mold), water leaks, and problems with flooring. In May 2025 alone, there were complaints about mold (both slow and heavy leaks), water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), defective flooring, and issues with cabinets, walls, and ceilings.

HPD inspections in May 2025 revealed violations related to flooring and cabinets, though some inspections were unable to be completed due to access issues. The building's inspection history shows recurring violations and maintenance concerns over the years. As of 2024, there is an active violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and several open violations from a July 2019 inspection relating to required safety notices and postings in the common areas regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and building maintenance information.

The property had consistent bedbug reporting compliance between 2019 and 2024, with no reported infestations during the most recent filing period. Rodent inspections show a mixed record, with rat activity reported in September 2023 but passing inspections in November 2023. The building's management has generally addressed most complaints and violations, as indicated by the "closed" status on many service requests, though some recent issues remain unresolved pending re-inspection.
