725 Fairmount Place, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 725 Fairmount Place in Tremont, owned by Michael Omojola and constructed in 2006, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by HPD, resulting in violations for broken/missing window guards, lighting issues, pest problems, wall conditions, and door-related problems.

The building is currently facing open violations from September 2023 regarding the illegal conversion of the cellar space into an unauthorized Class A apartment, which includes unpermitted cooking facilities and plumbing fixtures, though previous complaints about this issue in September 2023 were marked "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." The property must also resolve multiple violations from 2024 requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports, though the most recent bedbug report from 2024 shows no active infestations or eradicated units. The building's history shows recurring safety and maintenance concerns; between March and October 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints about window guards and lighting issues, and the past two bedbug reporting periods show consistent compliance with reporting requirements.

Although there are no active rodent issues, as evidenced by passing inspections from 2013 through 2025, the building's recent maintenance record indicates persistent challenges with basic building systems and unauthorized modifications. While the property has successfully passed various rodent inspections over the years, the recent pattern of violations and emergency complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact resident quality of life.
