1794 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1794 Prospect Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building constructed in 2006 in the Tremont neighborhood, currently owned by Kumar Singh. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant problems occurring between 2020 and 2023.

There have been multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water (particularly concerning Apartment 2F, which has open violations for scalding hot water exceeding 130°F in both the bathroom and kitchen), water leaks, and pest infestations. Specifically, there were three separate heating/hot water complaints in November 2022, multiple heating issues in January 2021, and both heavy flow and slow water leak problems documented in January 2021, along with associated ceiling paint/plaster issues. The building has also faced rodent challenges, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 passing, but previous inspections between 2019 and 2020 showing rat activity and requiring bait applications.

Three bedbug violation notices were issued between 2021 and 2024, though recent reports from 2024-2025 show no infested or re-infested units. The property continues to have several open violations related to water leakage and mold issues, particularly affecting Bathroom facilities in Apartment 1 (2018) and Bathroom/Ceiling conditions in Apartment 2F (2021). While some issues have been addressed and closed, the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring problems requiring ongoing attention and intervention from various city agencies.
