729 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The three-story, two-family house at 729 Beach Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Taiwo Bolarinwa and built in 1970, is currently facing multiple concerning issues as of July 2025. Most notably, there is an open heat/hot water complaint filed with HPD in November 2024, indicating a potentially serious building systems problem. The property has experienced significant pest and sanitation issues recently, with open violations recorded in November 2024 for both rodent and mold infestations, specifically affecting the second-floor apartment.

The mold violation, classified as Class A, required tracing of the source and abatement of visible mold conditions, while Class B violations were issued for both roach and mice infestations in the same apartment. Additionally, there are repair issues documented in November 2024 regarding water damage to the kitchen sink cabinet. The building's history shows some attention to rodent issues, with compliance inspections in 2016 showing mixed results: a failed initial inspection in September 2016 and a passed compliance check in December 2016.

Prior to these recent sanitation issues, the last known rodent inspection was conducted in 2010, which passed. While HPD has closed several complaints related to unsanitary conditions, including previous mold and pest complaints, the current open complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. It's worth noting that multiple service requests regarding unsanitary conditions and heat/hot water issues were all filed in November 2024, indicating a potential pattern of building maintenance concerns emerging during that period.
