980 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10459

980 Fox Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1995 and currently owned by Aida Viverette. The property has a significant history of compliance issues, most notably regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 stating failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code. Between August and October 2021, there were multiple complaints about illegal hotel room usage in the building, all of which were closed due to access issues, though one resulted in an OATH violation being served.

More concerning are four active ECB violations from September 2021, related to the illegal use of a second-floor apartment as transient rental space, including failures to maintain required sprinkler systems, means of egress, and fire alarm systems, with penalties totaling $12,250. Additionally, there are currently open Department of Buildings violations from December 2021 related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations. The building demonstrates a mixed record of pest control and sanitation inspections.

While there have been no documented bedbug infestations since 2018, and recent rodent inspections in 2023 passed, there was some historical rodent activity noted in 2010. Housing code compliance seems to have been maintained in recent years, with no additional significant violations recorded since 2021. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent activity showing compliance, though the pattern of violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and unauthorized transient use, suggests ongoing challenges with property management and regulatory compliance.
