745 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10455

745 Kelly Street is a 2-story, 3-unit former Class A building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Roy Hardy and located in the Longwood neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, most notably in 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding electrical problems (including outlets, switches, and lighting) and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

The property has also faced significant heating and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints in May 2020, though inspections indicated these systems were subsequently restored. More recently, as of 2023 and 2024, the building has open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, and as of July 2020, there were several safety concerns in Apartment 2 including defective windows, missing window guards, non-functional carbon monoxide detector, self-closing door issues, and an electrical outlet problem in the kitchen, though the status of these violations remains open without recent updates. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding heating systems and electrical infrastructure.

While the property had passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2017, the more recent history suggests ongoing challenges with both pest management and basic building systems. The most recent available inspection dates back to 2024, which found no new issues beyond the bedbug reporting violation. The frequency and variety of maintenance issues documented between 2019 and 2020, combined with the open violations relating to building safety features and systems, indicate a building with ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
