727 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455
The three-story, two-unit Old Law Tenement building at 727 Prospect Avenue in Longwood, owned by Carlos Acosta, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years. Most notably, there are four consecutive open violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.
The property has also faced significant structural and safety concerns, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from December 2021 with a $6,250 penalty for work without a permit concerning an unpermitted sidewalk shed installation. Recent plumbing concerns were documented in June 2025 as an immediate emergency, though this was resolved the following day. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat activity reports documented between 2018 and 2024, though recent inspections in early 2024 showed bait application efforts being implemented.
There have been several Department of Buildings complaints regarding potential illegal activities and occupancy issues, including complaints about illegal hotel rooms and occupancy violations in 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts to investigate. The property also appears to have a pattern of non-compliance with inspection requirements, as evidenced by the inability of inspectors to gain access during multiple inspection attempts in 2024. Despite these various issues, it's worth noting that the building is maintaining its classification as an Old Law Tenement, having been constructed in 1925.
