976 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 976 Fox Street in Longwood, owned by Wilfred Francis, has been standing since 1995 and has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations issued between 2021 and 2024, with all violations still listed as open.

In January 2022, the building experienced a heat and hot water outage that affected the entire structure, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development responded and documented restoration of services. The building's maintenance record shows regular rodent inspections, with all passing since 2010, including the most recent inspection in November 2023.

While the property has maintained compliance with rodent-related regulations, the persistent bedbug reporting violation represents the building's most significant ongoing regulatory issue. The heat and hot water incident from 2022 remains the only documented service interruption affecting all tenants, though this occurred nearly three years ago from the current date of July 2025.
