1031 Faile Street, Bronx, NY 10459

This three-story, three-unit building at 1031 Faile Street in Longwood, owned by Ramon Melendez, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns focusing on pest management and safety violations. As of April 2025, there are open violations regarding unfiled annual bedbug reports (class A) and a current cockroach infestation (class C) in Apartment 1, documented in December 2023. The building has a history of plumbing issues between 2018-2020, including multiple reports of problems with toilets and bathtubs/showers, though some of these inspections resulted in no violations being found.

The property faced significant safety concerns in late 2019, when multiple violations were issued regarding an obstructed exit passageway on the third floor, leading to fines totaling $1,875 that were later marked as resolved. Earlier maintenance issues included concerns with doors/windows and ceiling conditions, though most were promptly addressed with no violations issued. The building's infrastructure has shown consistent rodent compliance, with all inspections since 2011 (except one in 2011) passing, indicating effective pest control measures in this regard.

While the property has maintained regular upkeep in areas such as heating system maintenance notifications and emergency repairs, the recurring nature of the pest management violations and the most recent plumbing complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene was involved in addressing indoor air quality concerns in 2019, though these seem to have been resolved. The building's age (constructed in 1899) and conversion to Class A status suggest it has undergone significant changes over its lifetime, though specific details of these modifications are not included in the current data.
