617 Faile Street, Bronx, NY 10474

617 Faile Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building in Hunts Point, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Martha Dejesus-Poll. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2024, when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding unsanitary conditions (including mold), plumbing issues (specifically with sinks/basins), and problems with walls and cabinets.

While some of these complaints resulted in violations, others did not, suggesting varying degrees of resolution. More recent inspections in 2025 and 2023 recorded passed results for rodent inspections, marking an improvement in pest control, though the building has a history of pest-related complaints, with the most significant issues appearing in 2024 and 2021.

The building currently has several open violations from June 2024 that require attention, including defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and vestibule, as well as multiple issues in apartment 2F including cockroach infestation, problems with kitchen cabinets, inadequate hot and cold water supply at the sink, and exposed electrical wiring in the bathroom. Historical records show two concerning incidents in 2020-2022 related to water damage and structural issues, including cracked bricks at the roof level and water damage to the second-floor ceiling due to construction work at an adjacent property. While many of the building's historical housing maintenance code violations have been resolved, the frequency of maintenance issues and the presence of current open violations suggest persistent maintenance challenges at this property.
