751 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The building at 751 Fox Street, owned by Fermin Garcia, is a 6-story, 47-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1924, currently experiencing some significant maintenance issues. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple heating and water-related complaints, including a heavy water leak reported in January that remained open until July, and another heating issue in January that supposedly affected only one apartment. Throughout 2023, the building faced recurring problems with heating/hot water systems and water leaks, including a resolved mold issue in July.

The elevator system has also been a persistent concern, with five separate complaints about its single-device status and lack of alternate service between 2022-2024, though inspections typically found no violations. Recent rodent activity has been documented in April and June 2025, which follows several years of varying inspection results, including a "Passed" status in 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related problems, with multiple heavy flow water leak complaints filed through 2023 and 2025.

Several Housing Maintenance Code violations have been recorded, including a 2023 violation regarding water leaks and bathroom ceiling issues in Apartment 1E. While the building has shown improvements in some areas, such as filing annual bedbug reports showing zero infestations since 2022, the recent history of heating, water, and rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also faced administrative violations in the past regarding energy benchmarking requirements, though these have been resolved. The building management appears to address many complaints when they are reported, as evidenced by the closed status of most complaints, but the frequency of similar issues suggests potential underlying systemic problems.
