1291 Lafayette Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474
The 92-unit, 7-story residential building at 1291 Lafayette Avenue in Hunts Point, owned by Christina Pimentel, has experienced recurring issues with building-wide heat and hot water systems, most notably in January 2025 and throughout January 2022, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently verified as corrected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Recent inspections show some ongoing maintenance challenges, including two open violations from the Department of Buildings as of February 2024 regarding failure to file required reports and display energy efficiency information.
The building's maintenance history also reveals multiple door-related issues requiring attention in early 2025, along with plumbing problems in February 2023. The property has shown progress in bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the last two annual reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025), following instances in 2020-2021 and 2019-2020. Rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with the most recent initial inspection in March 2025 passing, though there were failures noted in 2024 and 2023 for various reasons.
The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations related to inadequate heat supply, particularly affecting Unit 7N as noted in a January 2022 violation. The property has undergone some permitted work in recent years, with plumbing-related permits issued in 2018, 2019, and 2020. An unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests was filed in November 2022, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
