642 Barretto Street, Bronx, NY 10474
The three-unit residential building at 642 Barretto Street in Hunts Point, owned by Yonatan Bahumi, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concern regarding heating and hot water systems. The most recent complaints from late 2024 indicate continued problems with heat and hot water, following multiple similar complaints throughout 2023 and 2024 that affected either the entire building or individual apartments. These heating system problems were serious enough to warrant emergency response from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
Additionally, the building has faced electrical issues, including a power outage in May 2024, and two separate rat sightings in 2023 and 2021, though recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 show rodent control measures were successfully implemented. The property currently has three open violations as of 2024, including issues with hot water provision in Apartment 2, access to the heating system, and failure to file required annual bedbug reports. Historical records show a pattern of heating system problems, with at least eight separate heat/hot water-related complaints between 2023 and 2024.
The building has undergone multiple rodent control inspections, with varying results from failure to pass inspections to the application of bait. Other notable violations include a 2022 infraction regarding lead-based paint documentation and notification requirements, though the building's bedbug infestation reports from 2019-2020 show no affected units. The property has had some emergency repairs completed successfully, including door repairs and appliance issues in 2019, but the recurring nature of heating system complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent rodent inspections in early 2025 passed, indicating recent improvements in pest control.
