2843 Heath Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The two-family residential building at 2843 Heath Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Gil Broitman, has a concerning history of pest and sanitation issues spanning from 2019 through early 2025. Most notably, the property has experienced persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections between 2019 and 2024 consistently confirming rat activity.

The most recent rodent-related incidents were documented in August 2024 and April 2024, with both initial and compliance inspections revealing ongoing infestations. The building has also faced several sanitary challenges, including a sewage odor complaint in January 2025 and a rodent attraction issue in April 2024, both of which prompted official violations and required follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Additional maintenance concerns have been documented, including a standing water complaint from October 2022 that remains unresolved as of the latest available data, and unsanitary conditions related to pests in December 2022.

The property experienced some basic infrastructure issues in 2021, including separate complaints about heat/hot water and wall conditions, though these were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and found to have no violations. A plumbing-related complaint from January 2025 was later addressed through corrective action by March 2025. While the building passed all inspections for rat activity between June 2019 and November 2021, the subsequent pattern of complaints and violations suggests an ongoing struggle with maintaining basic sanitary conditions, particularly concerning pest control and water management.
