673 Beck Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 673 Beck Street in Longwood, owned by Luis Garcia and built in 1909, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly throughout 2024 and 2025. The most concerning violations were documented in August 2024 in apartment 3B, including open violations related to bedbug and roach infestations, plumbing problems affecting the bathroom drain pipe, defective refrigerator door seal, and multiple safety issues such as missing window guards and smoke detectors, along with a broken intercom system.

The building has also faced recurring plumbing issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints in April 2025 involving toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, with at least one sink violation resulting in an official citation. There are documented issues with pest control, as seen in February 2025 complaints about unsanitary conditions, and a concerning pattern of rodent inspections with several failures noted between 2012 and 2022, though a passed initial inspection in January 2023 indicates some improvement. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with basic infrastructure, including water leaks (documented in February 2025), door and window problems, and painting/plastering concerns.

Recent 2025 complaints also indicated problems with ceilings and walls requiring attention. While some issues have been addressed through violations being marked as closed, many remain open as of the latest available data. The property has a mixed history of compliance with housing maintenance standards, with inspections showing both successful remediation of some violations and ongoing challenges with maintenance and pest control, suggesting a pattern of recurring maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety over time.
