844 Hunts Point Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

844 Hunts Point Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Fernando Correa. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic utilities and infrastructure, most notably during late 2018 through early 2019 when there were multiple heat/hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, as well as an electric power outage. The second-floor apartment has had significant maintenance issues, as evidenced by a cluster of Housing Maintenance Code Complaints from December 2019, including problems with windows, pests (mice, bedbugs, and roaches), plumbing (radiator issues), lighting, water leaks, and various other concerns.

More troubling are the open Housing Maintenance Code Violations from December 2019, which document issues including mold, pest infestations, broken bathroom tiles, and problems with safety equipment such as carbon monoxide detectors and electrical wiring. Most recently, in June 2025, two plumbing complaints were documented with Partial Stop Work Orders issued. The building's environmental compliance history shows several violations related to failure to comply with Commissioner Orders and vacate orders from 2019, leading to penalties totaling $25,000, though some of these balances appear as resolved. The property has passed several rodent inspections between 2017 and 2025, with only two instances of rat activity recorded (in June 2022 and March 2024).

The building's plumbing and electrical systems remain a focus of ongoing attention, with multiple permit issuances in 2023-2025, though there are currently intended revocations of plumbing approvals due to license suspension issues. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with basic infrastructure, though recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions in this area. There appears to have been some progress in addressing the numerous violations from 2019, as several have been resolved or classified as dismissed, though many remain open, particularly concerning pest infestations and various infrastructure issues. The most recent plumbing complaints and partial stop work orders from 2025 indicate that maintenance concerns continue to be a significant aspect of the building's profile.
