65 East Gun Hill Road, Bronx, NY 10467

The 5-story, 36-unit building at 65 East Gun Hill Road, owned by Yechiel Weinberger and constructed in 1922, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water problems, with violations issued in April 2025 and December 2024 regarding inadequate heat supply and excess hot water temperatures in apartment 25.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges in 2025, with multiple violations related to window frames, flooring, and general appliance issues, including electrical range and refrigerator problems. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented, with the most recent rat sighting complaint in May 2025, though inspections in September 2023 and April 2024 resulted in "Passed" results, suggesting some temporary improvements in pest control. The building's December 2024 inspection revealed several critical safety concerns in apartment 42, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a locked fire escape window, and a potentially unauthorized alteration involving floor-to-ceiling sheetrock and studs creating additional living space.

These violations, along with ongoing issues of inadequate heat and water conditions, indicate persistent maintenance challenges. The property has three active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores (from 2019 and 2021) and a 2019 violation for not filing the annual boiler inspection report. While the building has maintained a pest-free record in the last three bedbug reporting periods (2019, 2022, and 2024), the repeated rat activity and building system violations suggest ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that merit attention.
