780 Garden Street, Bronx, NY 10460

780 Garden Street, a 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1928 with 59 units, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years under owner Satya Ramineni. Most notably, there was a recent pest infestation reported in June 2025 that resulted in violations, and the building has shown recurring plumbing and water leak problems, with multiple violations issued between March and June 2025 affecting sinks, bathtubs/showers, and water leaks.

The building has also faced challenges with lead paint hazards, as evidenced by violations in apartment 5E identified in December 2024, requiring correction of peeling paint that tested positive for lead content. The property has a concerning elevator situation, with two active complaints as of 2025 regarding a single device on the property with no alternate service. There have been multiple building maintenance issues documented between 2018 and 2025, including problems with building exteriors, door and window frames, and unsanitary conditions.

While recent inspections in 2025 show some improvements, with a passing rodent inspection in June 2025, there has been an ongoing pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention. The building's history shows some progress, with many violations being closed after correction, but the persistence of certain problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed in June 2025 indicate continuing issues with painting, plumbing, and unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints were classified as non-emergency.
