737 Hunts Point Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

737 Hunts Point Avenue is a 6-story, 36-unit residential building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Salvatore Gigante Jr. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably with heating systems, as evidenced by a February 2023 heat and hot water complaint, though this was reportedly resolved quickly. The property has documented violations related to sanitation concerns, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, with multiple complaints filed in 2022 and 2023, though most were closed without violations.

Recent inspections in September 2023 identified fire escape deficiencies that were subsequently addressed, along with various interior maintenance issues requiring attention. As of September 2024, there are several open violations in Apartment 2D, including leaky bathroom faucets, problems with the kitchen sink waste line, and a previously documented mice infestation (which was certified as abated). Apartment 6B has an open violation regarding bathroom ceiling paint.

The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in April 2025 resulting in a "Passed" designation, indicating improved pest control measures. The property has maintained consistent bedbug-free status in annual reports since 2019. Two open Department of Buildings violations from 2021 and 2023 remain active, related to the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades. Despite these issues, there have been no recent complaints indicating major safety concerns, and most previously reported problems have been addressed through proper channels, though some violations remain outstanding as of the latest available data.
