636 Manida Street, Bronx, NY 10474

636 Manida Street is a three-unit, two-story residential building built in 1925 in the Hunts Point neighborhood, currently owned by Sam Dontye. The property has experienced recurring heat and maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in early 2024 including problems with heat/hot water, ventilation systems, and the presence of mold.

These issues follow a pattern of heating system complaints, as evidenced by repeated heat/hot water grievances, including emergencies, throughout 2019 and 2024. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical problems, ventilation issues, and pest infestations, though most recent inspections did not result in violations being issued. Historical records indicate significant maintenance concerns in 2019, particularly in apartment 1R, where violations were documented for inadequate heat, hot water supply issues, and pest infestations (including roaches and mice).

The property has demonstrated efforts to address pest management, as evidenced by consistent bedbug reporting showing zero infested units in recent years, with the most recent filings from 2022-2024 reporting no infestations. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in May 2025, there have been multiple failures for "Other Reasons" in previous inspections throughout 2023-2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest management. The most recent violation records from 2022-2021 indicate compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though earlier violations related to gas supply and various maintenance issues were cited in 2019.
