748 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 5-story, 17-unit tenement building at 748 East Tremont Avenue, built in 1931 and currently owned by Valerie Torres, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, particularly during 2019-2022. The building has faced multiple challenges with pest infestations, including three separate complaints about pests in July 2022 and additional issues in February 2019, with violations issued in 2019. February 2019 also brought plumbing concerns involving a steam pipe/riser, and heating issues with a radiator problem in March 2019, both classified as emergencies.

The property experienced a power outage in February 2022 and various maintenance concerns including floor problems and wall issues in 2022, though inspections typically resulted in no violations being issued. More recent concerns include a potential work without permit investigation in late 2023, which resulted in a Stop Work Order Fully Rescinded, though there remains an active violation regarding newly installed electrical cables and boxes with a $6,250 penalty. The building's safety systems have required attention, with violations in early 2022 related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and door issues in apartment 8.

While the building has maintained generally good rodent control results in recent inspections, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 passing, there is a consistent history of rodent inspections showing variable results between 2014-2018. The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no infested units reported in recent filings. Recent permit activity shows multiple permits being processed and issued between 2021-2025, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement work at the property.
