720 Pugsley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

720 Pugsley Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2006, currently owned by George Elashvili, located in the Castle Hill neighborhood of New York City. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent significant violations occurring in 2023-2024 including a bedbug reporting violation.

The most clustered set of violations occurred in March 2022, primarily affecting the third-floor Apartment 3, where multiple safety issues were found including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, problems with self-closing doors, and a missing door knob. Earlier violations from 2019 highlighted pest control issues, including a roach infestation in Apartment 3, which was subsequently addressed and certified as complete. Other documented issues include a broken window pane in Apartment 3, and an illicit locking mechanism at the building entrance that was required to be removed.

Despite these past violations, it's noteworthy that recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 show zero cases of infestation in any unit, and all previous violations have been officially closed. The building underwent a rodent inspection in 2010, which it passed, indicating compliance with health and safety requirements in that regard. The consistent pattern of addressing violations, as evidenced by the "Close" status of all violations and their certification dates, demonstrates ongoing efforts to maintain building standards, though the frequency and nature of past violations suggest attention to building maintenance and safety systems is required.
