756 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 4-unit building at 756 Kelly Street in Longwood, owned by Nimesh Amin, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025. In March and February 2025, there were emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to the premises for inspection. These recent heating problems follow a troubling pattern, as similar heat and hot water complaints were reported in 2024 and 2023.

The building has also been required to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent report covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections and complaints between 2020 and 2023. While recent inspections in March 2023 and September 2023 show some compliance with rodent control measures (including bait application), earlier inspections in 2021 and 2022 revealed rat activity.

The building's owners have faced multiple violations requiring follow-up inspections, particularly during 2021-2024 when various rodent-related complaints were logged. The property has also had multiple instances of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) finding violations on the premises, especially regarding rodent control issues in 2020, 2021, and 2023. While some progress appears to have been made in addressing these issues, as evidenced by "Passed" compliance results in 2021 and the current bedbug report showing no infestations, the recurring nature of the heat and hot water complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at this century-old tenement building.
