595 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

595 Prospect Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1910, classified as an Old Law Single Room Occupancy property, currently owned by M Rosen. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in February for heat/hot water problems, cooking gas issues, electrical power outages, plumbing concerns, fire escape safety, and unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions.

While inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations associated with these complaints, the frequency and variety of issues indicate potential infrastructure challenges. The property has also faced pest control challenges, with documented rat activity in late 2023 and throughout 2024, prompting multiple baiting treatments.

A rodent inspection report from March 2023 noted violations requiring follow-up inspections. While the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations in its annual reports since at least 2019, the presence of rodent activity and the recent cluster of maintenance issues suggest ongoing management challenges. The building's emergency complaint history shows a pattern of infrastructure issues affecting basic services, though most recent complaints have been resolved without resulting violations.
