860 Hunts Point Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

860 Hunts Point Avenue is a 5-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Ramon Santiago. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in recent years, with significant issues related to unsanitary conditions. Most notably, as of September 2024, Apartment 1A has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations including active infestations of both mice and roaches, water damage and mold conditions exceeding 30 square feet in the bathroom, and inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has also faced recurring issues with pests and mold, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints throughout 2024. The property has a documented history of mechanical and safety concerns, including several Department of Buildings violations. In 2022, there was an active Environmental Control Board violation related to hazardous boiler conditions with unsafe flue piping and electrical components, for which a penalty of $3,125 was imposed and remains due.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with various results showing rat activity in 2022 and 2023, though most recently passing in March 2025. Interestingly, the building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show zero infested units, suggesting that while pest issues have been present, they have not included bedbugs. While some complaints have been promptly resolved with no violations issued, the pattern of repeated complaints and open violations, particularly regarding health and safety concerns in Apartment 1A, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
