1319 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 4-story, 7-unit residential building at 1319 Prospect Avenue, built in 2016 and owned by Michael Froning, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year (2024-2025), with the most significant concerns centering around Unit 2B and Unit 4A. In late August 2024, the building received multiple inspections resulting in violations for mold in Unit 4A (Class A violation), along with reports of roach infestation in the same unit. Unit 2B also faced multiple violations including water temperature issues (hot water exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit) and mold conditions in the bathroom, along with various other maintenance deficiencies including problems with plaster surfaces and bathtub caulking.

The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system complaints, particularly evident in July 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed though inspections revealed no violations. More recently, in September 2024, there were two separate complaints regarding electric/gas range issues, both of which were closed without violations being found. The property has maintained a generally good rodent control record, with inspections from 2015 through 2022 showing predominantly "Passed" results, though there were some "Failed for Other Reasons" results in 2015.

The building's management has also demonstrated consistent reporting of bedbug inspections, with no confirmed infestations reported in recent years, including the most recent reports from 2023-2024 showing zero infested units. An after-hours work complaint was filed in December 2023 but resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention, many recent complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, suggesting some level of responsive maintenance, though the recurrence of certain issues (particularly heating/hot water and mold-related problems) indicates these may be persistent challenges.
