756 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10455
The 23-unit, 5-story tenement building at 756 Fox Street in Longwood, owned by Yoel Shafer and constructed in 1928, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, from January to March 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat/hot water issues, unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), plumbing problems, and water leaks, with violations issued in several cases. The building has two active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of December 2024, including hot water issues in Apartments 1B and 3C, and multiple open violations related to electrical work, building maintenance, and safety systems. Earlier complaints and violations provide additional context to the building's condition.
In 2018-2019, there were several electrical wiring violations and safety concerns, including unauthorized modifications and use of improper materials. More recently, in September 2024, there was an ECB violation issued for exterior facade conditions, and two unresolved violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections. The building has a history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2020 and 2023, though it passed a rodent inspection in April 2025. While there was one documented bedbug infestation in 2023, this was resolved, and the most recent bedbug report from January 2025 shows no current infestation.
The property has also experienced structural concerns, with a building shaking/structural stability complaint filed in September 2024, though this was marked as a violation served. The building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and building systems, particularly regarding water supply and heating. Inspection results indicate some improvements, such as recent rodent control measures, though persistent violations and service complaints point to continued maintenance challenges. The presence of multiple open violations as of 2024/2025, particularly regarding hot water systems and building safety features, suggests areas requiring attention.
