749 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The two-family house at 749 Commonwealth Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Peter Mcpherson and constructed in 1920, has a documented history of maintenance issues primarily affecting its first-floor apartment (1FL). In August 2014, a comprehensive inspection revealed multiple violations requiring attention to both infrastructure and habitability issues, including bedbug infestation and various maintenance problems.

The building was cited for interior deficiencies such as broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint requirements in multiple rooms, including the kitchen and bathroom, as well as issues with floor repairs, window glass replacement, and window fittings. While these violations were classified from A to C in severity, they were all marked as "Close" in terms of violation status, with the notable exception of bedbug infestation, which was certified as resolved in May 2018. A rodent inspection conducted in October 2010 had been successfully passed.

The most recent certified dates for violation correction primarily fall within 2018, indicating that remediation efforts were undertaken, particularly regarding plaster surfaces and window fittings. While the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, it's important to note that there have been no reported violations or inspection findings listed in the records since 2018, suggesting an extended period of regulatory compliance. The property's age and history of maintenance issues should be considered in the context of its 100+ year existence, though recent inspection history shows no new violations have been recorded in the past several years up to the current date of July 2025.
