639 Coster Street, Bronx, NY 10474

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 639 Coster Street in Hunts Point, owned by Jose Rodriguez, has a concerning record of unresolved violations spanning multiple years. Most significantly, there are persistent open violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, totaling four consecutive years of non-compliance.

The building also has several safety compliance issues documented in 2018, including violations for failing to post essential safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and heating system access, though these are classified as A violations, indicating they are less severe than Class B violations. The property has known occupancy issues, with active ECB violations from 2018 and 2020 indicating illegal conversions and unauthorized occupancy patterns, including the unlawful use of an SRO on the third story and improper off-street parking use, with associated penalties of $1,700 still showing as due balance.

Despite these violations, the building has maintained passing rodent inspections from 2010 through 2025, suggesting good basic maintenance in this area. However, the pattern of recurring bedbug report violations and safety notice compliance issues, combined with the unauthorized occupancy complications, raises significant concerns about the property's management and maintenance practices. The building was constructed in 2007 and has had two different owners listed in various records (Jose Rodriguez and Jose R Castillo), though the most recent records show consistent ownership under Jose Rodriguez.
