710 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

710 Union Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in Longwood, Bronx, and owned by Julio Garcia. Built in 1920, this New Law tenement has experienced recurring pest-related issues over recent years, with the most recent 311 service requests in September 2023 reporting unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at that time.

The building has a history of bedbug reporting requirements, with violations documented in 2018, 2021, and 2022 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent bedbug filings from 2022 through January 2025 show no infested units, indicating compliance with reporting requirements. Rodent-related issues have also been a concern, with two recent complaints in August and September 2023, both of which resulted in passing inspections.

The most recent rodent inspection in September 2023 found no violations. Notably, there was an open violation from 2018 regarding an air conditioning unit at an egress fire escape window in the third-story apartment, which would require attention to ensure proper evacuation routes are maintained. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of passing inspections overall, with the most significant ongoing concern being the periodic nature of pest-related complaints, which appear to be addressed promptly through inspections and interventions.
