525 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 2-family house at 525 Beach Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Jenny Fong-lee, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2020, with significant ongoing concerns about heat and hot water systems. The building, constructed in 1925, has documented multiple heating and hot water complaints over the past few years, with seven separate incidents reported between November 2021 and November 2022 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though most of these complaints were ultimately resolved according to HPD records.

More recently, in late 2022 and throughout 2023, the building has faced additional maintenance challenges, including open violations related to rodent infestations (mice and cockroaches), water leakage through ceilings in Apartment 2, and issues with doors and plastered surfaces. The most current open violations (from August 2021) indicate problems with roof leaks affecting both the kitchen and hallway areas in Apartment 2, as well as problems with interior doors, plaster surfaces, and pest infestations.

The property has also experienced electrical concerns, with multiple complaints about defective or exposed wiring in August 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their inspections. While there was an initial rodent inspection in October 2010 that passed, subsequent inspections in 2021 revealed infestation issues that remain unresolved as per the current violation status. The building's water systems continue to be a primary area of concern, with multiple emergency service requests related to heat and hot water reported through both 311 and HPD channels, indicating a persistent pattern of maintenance challenges that have required multiple interventions over the past few years.
