1939 Monterey Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-family house at 1939 Monterey Avenue in Tremont, owned by Victor Humala, has had three notable incidents since 2019, with the most recent being a cooking gas-related issue that emerged in December 2022 and remained unresolved as of April 2023, when inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access for necessary inspections. Prior to this, the property experienced a concerning pest infestation situation in January 2019, which was serious enough to warrant emergency intervention from HPD, with violations being issued following inspections conducted between January 24 and February 10 of that year.

The pest-related complaints were significant enough to prompt two separate reports within the same week, indicating the severity of the infestation problem at that time. The building, constructed in 2002, is a two-story structure containing two residential units.

While the pest issues seem to have been addressed relatively quickly, with violations being documented and closed by February 2019, the more recent gas-related complaint raises concerns about access and response times, particularly given that the complaint was classified as an emergency but took approximately four months to reach a closed status due to inspection access issues. This pattern suggests potential challenges with maintenance response times and access coordination for necessary inspections and repairs, though it's important to note that the absence of recent complaints since April 2023 may indicate improved conditions or responsiveness.
