934 Barretto Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The five-story, 21-unit tenement building at 934 Barretto Street in Longwood, owned by Salvatore Gigiante Jr, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed between September 2023 and January 2025. The most recent heating complaints, documented in January 2025, were initially reported as duplicates of existing complaints, while earlier incidents from December 2024 and September 2023 were resolved during inspections, with tenants confirming restoration of heat and hot water.

The building has also faced several plumbing challenges, with complaints regarding sinks and showers recorded in September 2024 and June 2024, though inspectors reportedly could not gain access to verify conditions in some cases. While a 2024 inspection revealed a broken bathroom washbasin in Apartment 3B, most other issues noted in violation notices from 2023-2024, including multiple hot water complaints affecting various apartments (1A, 2B, 2C, 4C), were either resolved or closed following inspections. The building's maintenance record shows consistent rodent control success, with all inspections passing since 2010.

Bedbug reports indicate minimal infestation history, with the most recent three annual filings (2021-2024) reporting zero affected units, though there were some isolated cases in 2020-2021 with a total of three units affected. A pair of outstanding Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 remains noted regarding failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. The property's documented history shows regular attention to maintenance issues, though access barriers during inspections have sometimes complicated resolution efforts.
