968 Bronx Park South, Bronx, NY 10460

The 27-unit, 5-story tenement building at 968 Bronx Park South, built in 1923 and currently owned by Anthonio Rodriguez, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around mold, pests, and water damage. During June 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and mold, with HPD issuing violations that require the property owner to correct the identified problems.

The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, including a pattern of elevator service problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2022 and 2025 about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" issues, though inspections often found no violations at the time. In late 2024, several safety-related violations were documented, including issues with fire escape maintenance and emergency egress plans, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The property has undergone some recent inspections and maintenance actions, including rodent baiting operations in early 2025, though previous rat activity was noted in earlier inspections.

There is an active ECB violation regarding unpermitted laundry facilities in the basement, consisting of four gas dryers and three electric washers, with a penalty of $2,500 imposed. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug monitoring with no reported infestations, though there have been persistent issues with various maintenance deficiencies, ranging from water leaks and ceiling damage to pest infestations. While many previous violations have been resolved, the building continues to face challenges with both emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues, particularly regarding moisture-related problems and general building upkeep.
