1298 Chisholm Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, two-family house at 1298 Chisholm Street in Morrisania, owned by Shlomo Denti, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2021, with the most significant problems occurring in 2023. The building has been grappling with pest infestations, particularly involving mice and roaches, as demonstrated by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and 311 service requests throughout 2023. Notably, two pest-related complaints were filed in August 2023 that required HPD intervention, and violations were issued for a roach and mouse infestation in Apartment 1 during July 2023.

The same apartment had documented violations in 2022 for similar pest issues, indicating an ongoing problem. In addition to pest control challenges, the building faced various plumbing and water-related issues in 2023. Emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems were recorded in May 2023, along with plumbing issues involving sinks and toilets, some of which resulted in violations.

During 2023, there was also a documented problem with water temperature exceeding 130 degrees at sinks in both the bathroom and kitchen of Apartment 1, which was classified as a Class C violation. While the building has maintained a good record of passing rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent passing inspection occurring in October 2022, the persistent pest control issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance. On a positive note, the property has shown no bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, and all recent HPD violations have been certified as closed, indicating compliance with correction orders.
