712 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10455

712 Fox Street, a 48-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Fermin Garcia, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, from February to April 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks (damp spots), flooring/stairs condition, and heat/hot water systems.

As of October 2023, the building had documented violations including a defective mechanical ventilation system and pest infestations (mice and roaches) in apartment 3F, though some of these violations were later closed. The property has shown some concerning patterns, including persistent issues with door/window frames, security systems, and heating systems.

In 2022-2023, two separate incidents were reported involving bedbugs, though subsequent inspections showed no infestations, and rodent inspections have generally passed since 2015, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing as well. The building's elevator system and safety equipment have had some minor regulatory issues, including a 2022 violation for not filing a technical report and a 2023 complaint about elevator service, though these were resolved with no major penalties. The facility has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing minimal infestations in recent years.
