1691 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1691 Davidson Avenue is a 31-unit, 6-story Class A building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Bpg Properties 1 Llc. The building has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, most notably with heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2023 and 2025, including a February 2025 complaint of no heat or hot water affecting the entire building. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including water leaks, mold issues, and various apartment-specific problems in unit 4E.

In March 2023, a mold violation was issued for approximately 5 square feet of visible mold in the bathroom ceiling of apartment 4E, though this was later marked as closed in August 2023. The building's maintenance record shows ongoing concerns with infrastructure and safety systems, including multiple complaints about water leaks (with multiple slow leak complaints in 2025), as well as flooring, plumbing, and sanitary issues. Notable violations from 2020-2021 included problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 4E, though these were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record between 2019 and 2024, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units.

Recent rodent inspections (2023-2025) have passed, with the exception of two failed inspections in 2018. Building permits have been regularly issued for various work, with the most recent permits from 2020 showing continued maintenance and upkeep activities. The data indicates a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating systems and moisture-related issues, though many of the complaints have been resolved through HPD intervention. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, suggesting some level of attention to pest management.
