1739 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The three-unit residential building at 1739 Davidson Avenue in Morris Heights, currently owned by Israel Revivo, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, with particular concern for the most recent events in 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there are currently multiple open violations from July 2024 that require attention, including safety concerns such as missing window guards and a broken entrance door lock, as well as electrical issues affecting the public hall lighting. The building has also faced persistent pest problems, with violations noting evidence of both mice and roaches in the third-floor apartment (Apt 3) as of July 2024.

Additional open violations from August 2024 include electrical service issues affecting all stories and various maintenance concerns in Apt 3, such as the need for new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and particular attention to interior painting requirements. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 service requests in 2024 related to electric outages, window issues, pest problems, water leaks, lighting failures, and door concerns, most of which resulted in violations being issued. Historical records indicate that the property underwent various repairs and inspections, including plumbing work on water supply and bathroom fixtures in 2023, though these issues were eventually resolved.

Various rodent control measures have been implemented between 2023 and 2025, with bait applied regularly, though inspections in 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status. An environmental control board violation from 2022 related to water accumulation in the rear yard with resulting damage was noted as active with a penalty imposed. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections as of 2025, suggesting some improvement in pest management, though the presence of recent pest violations indicates ongoing challenges.
