788 Dawson Street, Bronx, NY 10455

788 Dawson Street is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1897 and classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, currently owned by Johnny Rivera. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable during 2024 and throughout 2021 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of these essential services across the entire building.

The most recent complaint in November 2024 regarding water supply was quickly addressed, though this plumbing issue indicates ongoing infrastructure concerns. The property has three open violations as of 2024, including concerns about lead paint notification and documentation in apartment 2 (from August 2023), and a violation regarding the metal cornice repair at the building front (from April 2024). The Department of Buildings conducted several inspections and received complaints in August 2023 related to unauthorized work, debris, and illegal modifications, though no violations were warranted upon inspection.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record, showing zero infested units in the annual reports from 2022 through 2024. Rodent inspections from 2010 to 2017 show generally positive results, with one failure noted in November 2015 for "Other Reasons," but subsequent inspections passed. While the building has demonstrated some resilience in bedbug management and passing rodent inspections, the pattern of heat/hot water complaints and recent plumbing issues suggests attention to building systems may be required, as evidenced by the multiple emergency service requests over the years.
