1706 Selwyn Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
1706 Selwyn Avenue is a 6-story, 28-unit residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Roberto Alba. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with four water leak complaints documented in 2023 alone, including cases of heavy flow and damp spots.
Earlier incidents include heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building in both 2020 and 2023, though the latter was reportedly corrected after HPD verification. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various violations, most notably in 2021 when violations were issued for water leaks, paint/plaster issues, and a rodent infestation in apartment 2A, along with multiple violations in apartment 5A related to water leakage, ceiling repair needs, and window problems. Recent maintenance history shows mixed results, with rodent inspections in 2025-2024 generally passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in both 2024 and 2023.
The elevator system has been a point of concern, with an active complaint regarding lack of alternate service filed in November 2024, and previous violations from 2019 regarding inspection deficiencies. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the last seven filing periods. While the property has had multiple violations and complaints over the years, most have been addressed and closed, with the exception of some recent water-related issues and the current elevator complaint which remains pending resolution.
