717 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455
The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 717 Prospect Avenue in Longwood, owned by Hadas Hakmon, has experienced several significant maintenance and pest control issues since 2018. The most pressing current concern involves an ongoing rodent problem, with the most recent rat sightings reported in July 2024, following similar complaints in April 2024, September 2022, and September 2019. Multiple rodent inspections and compliance checks between 2018 and 2024 have consistently shown rat activity, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issuing violations and requiring follow-up inspections.
The building has also faced several other maintenance challenges, including a period between 2020-2024 where four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports. In 2021, lead paint hazard compliance issues were identified in all three apartments, though these violations were subsequently closed. Additional concerns include electrical wiring issues and gas utility referral complaints in 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access in each case.
The building's environmental control board records show a violation from March 2020 regarding unpermitted installed devices and circuits, which was resolved with no penalty imposed. Despite these challenges, recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate that no units have been infested with bedbugs during the specified reporting periods, suggesting successful pest management in this regard. The building's age (over 120 years old) and history of maintenance issues underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and communication regarding building conditions.
