1195 Rev James Polite Ave, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, 3-unit building at 1195 Rev James Polite Ave in Longwood, owned by Gerson Minaya and constructed in 2003, has experienced several maintenance challenges, particularly during early 2019. During this period, multiple complaints and violations were documented, including issues with heat and hot water, electric systems (outlets and lighting), pest infestations, and unsanitary conditions.

Notably, there were violations related to the building's ventilation system, which was subject to inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building faced significant issues in January 2019, with multiple emergency service requests including problems with heating systems, electrical outlets, and safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide detectors. Apartment 1 appears to have experienced particular difficulty during this period, with multiple documented violations including electrical service problems, plaster and paint issues, and pest infestations.

Since 2019, the building has maintained more stable conditions, with recent records from 2021 through 2024 showing regular bedbug reporting with zero infested units reported in the last five filings, indicating successful pest management practices. Rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019 show generally passing compliance, though there was one failure in 2018 for "Other Reasons." The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2022 and 2023 were related to bedbug reporting requirements, though these are administrative in nature rather than indicative of active infestations. The building's management appears to have addressed many of the 2019 issues, as evidenced by the closure of most violations, though some from that period notably remain open, relating to bedbug reporting requirements from 2022-2023.
