720 Hunts Point Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

720 Hunts Point Avenue is a 6-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Moshe Piller. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, with the most recent troubles emerging in mid-2025, including open complaints about cooking gas, paint/plaster issues, and window frame problems. A notable concentration of complaints was filed and investigated in May 2025, involving various issues such as pests, door/window problems, unsanitary conditions, and a potential fire escape safety concern.

The building has an ongoing elevator maintenance issue, with multiple complaints about the single device property and lack of alternate service between 2023 and 2025, though some of these were previously closed with no violations found. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with pest infestations, including mice and cockroaches in multiple apartments (notably in 5E). Structural concerns have been documented, including an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding exterior brick facade disrepair with vertical cracks and missing mortar.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with mixed results showing rat activity in 2022-2023, though a passed inspection in April 2025 suggests some improvement. Building systems maintenance is an ongoing challenge, with various violations related to the elevator system, boiler condition, and other infrastructure elements. However, there has been consistent reporting of bedbug-free status between 2020-2025, indicating successful pest management in this regard. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code violations (as of June 2025) include open complaints about cooking gas, paint/plaster issues, and a general unsafe condition that requires attention.
