1038B Rev James Polite Ave, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, three-unit building at 1038B Rev James Polite Ave in Longwood, owned by Krystyna Cacharani, was constructed in 2006 and has experienced several maintenance issues over its history. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in early 2018, when the building faced unsanitary conditions related to pests, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints, including one classified as emergency.

During this period, serious concerns about lead paint were documented in the first-story apartment (Apt 1038B), with violations recorded for peeling paint on both the north wall of the private hallway and the ceiling/south wall of a room, though these violations were subsequently marked as closed. Other violations from early 2018 included problems with smoke detectors, a broken entrance door glass lite, and various safety equipment issues including carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were addressed through repairs completed by March-May 2018. More recent records indicate improved conditions, with the building passing rodent inspections in both 2017 and 2015.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, and the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show zero infested units and no instances of eradicated or re-infested units. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, submitting regular reports showing no infestations. The building's condition appears to have stabilized over the past five years, with no major complaints or violations reported since the extensive issues of 2018 were resolved.
