1070 Fox Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, 3-unit building at 1070 Fox Street in Longwood, owned by Michael Wechter and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable issues over the past decade, with particular concerns surrounding plumbing systems and rodent activity. Most recently, in 2022, there were two plumbing-related incidents involving water supply issues, with one case (January 2022) closing without inspection access and another (August 2018) being inspected with no violations found.

The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting since 2019, with all reports showing zero infested units, though there were three bedbug-related violations issued in 2021-2024 for failure to file the annual report. Three separate Environmental Control Board violations were recorded between 2018-2019 related to boiler registration and a failure to comply with a commissioner's order, totaling $1,875 in penalties, though these have since been resolved.

The building's history shows recurring rodent activity concerns, with inspections in 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022 all indicating rodent presence, though some later inspections resulted in passing grades. The property has also had multiple building inspection violations requiring correction, including a 2024 bedbug report violation, though many listed violations have been closed without current active status. While plumbing and pest control appear to be ongoing maintenance challenges, the most recent bedbug reporting has shown successful eradication, and the building has met several routine compliance requirements.
