745 Hunts Point Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

745 Hunts Point Avenue is a 6-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Sefik Gunes. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and infrastructure challenges in recent months, with multiple housing code violations and service requests indicating ongoing issues with plumbing, electrical systems, and general maintenance. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with water supply systems, including an emergency plumbing complaint in June 2025, along with multiple heat and hot water issues.

The building has documented problems with rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing rat presence, and it previously faced infestations in Apartment 5A, including mold, roaches, and various plumbing issues as of late 2024. Additional concerns include electrical problems, such as a power outage and outlet issues reported in June 2025, and various plumbing complaints throughout 2025 that HPD inspectors were often unable to access for proper evaluation. The building's recent history shows clustering of maintenance issues particularly in 2025, including multiple instances where HPD inspectors could not gain access to properties for planned evaluations in April 2025, covering a range of complaints from electrical problems to unsanitary conditions.

The property has maintained a regular bedbug-free record from 2020 to 2024, with no documented cases of infestations in any of the eight most recent annual reporting periods. Historical data shows previous violations from 2018-2020 related to maintenance issues, including a problematic roof repair noted in violations from Apartment 5F. While most recent HPD violations and complaints have been resolved or closed, the recurring nature of the plumbing, electrical, and pest-related issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges within the building that warrant monitoring.
