716 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

716 Beach Avenue is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building built in 2017, currently owned by Genc Lakaj. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints in January 2025 alone, and multiple similar complaints in prior years, including December 2022 and March 2020. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing problems (sink and toilet issues in 2023 and 2020), a mold complaint in 2023, and a significant incident involving garbage/recycling storage in 2019.

An important maintenance issue involved a kitchen cabinet repair in apartment 3C, documented in April 2024. The building's compliance history shows several Housing Maintenance Code violations, primarily related to administrative requirements such as bedbug reporting and safety sign postings. There was one documented case of roach infestation in apartment 1A in 2020, though subsequent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate zero infested units.

The Department of Buildings records show an electrical permit violation from 2018, which was resolved, and an active violation as of April 2023 regarding an external low-pressure inspection that had not been filed. The building's rodent inspection history shows passing compliance in 2010, but a failure for "Other Reasons" in 2016, with subsequent passing results in 2017. Despite numerous service requests and violations over the years, many complaints have been closed without violations being issued, often due to lack of access during inspections. The building's management has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, showing efforts to monitor and address pest control requirements.
