789 Jennings Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, three-unit building at 789 Jennings Street in Morrisania, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Diego Cavallo, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years. The property currently has open violations dating from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and there are ongoing rodent control efforts as evidenced by multiple bait applications recorded between January and July 2025, with recent inspections still showing rat activity.

The building has a documented history of infrastructure issues, particularly in July 2022, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received multiple complaints regarding various maintenance problems, including plumbing (toilet and sink), electrical (no lighting), wall conditions (paint/plaster), and pest-related concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access. Earlier records from 2018-2019 show significant maintenance concerns, including heating and hot water problems, safety violations regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and building access issues. The property experienced a brief period of concern in mid-2019 when it was placed in a "collapse zone" due to structural issues with a neighboring building, though this violation was subsequently dismissed.

Most recently, in late 2024, a rat sighting prompted a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigation, which resulted in violations that required follow-up inspections. The building has consistently required pest management attention, with the most recent inspections in 2025 indicating ongoing rat activity despite multiple bait applications. A permit for work was issued on November 1, 2023, under job number 240356556, though the specific nature of the permitted work is not detailed in the available records.
