708 Garden Street, Bronx, NY 10457

708 Garden Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1997 and currently owned by Jacquetta Whaley. The property has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with the most recent being a smoke detector safety complaint filed in May 2023 with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Unfortunately, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported condition, and this complaint was subsequently closed in July 2023. A significant open violation remains as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though previous years' reports from 2019 through 2023 consistently indicated no infested units or eradication efforts required, suggesting effective pest management despite the reporting oversight. The building has maintained a strong record of rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, indicating effective pest control measures in place.

There were also two Department of Buildings complaints from 2018 regarding an illegal storefront sign and certificate of occupancy issues at a nearby address (10457), both of which were resolved - the former due to inspector access issues and the latter with no violation found at inspection. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug monitoring requirements in recent years, with reports indicating zero infestations between 2020-2023. While the smoke detector access issue represents the only recent safety concern, it's important to note that this problem has technically not been resolved due to the inability to inspect the condition when reported.
