944 Castle Hill Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

944 Castle Hill Avenue is a two-family residence located in the Unionport neighborhood, consisting of two stories and built in 1910, currently owned by Shlomo Denti. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in December 2019, when multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints were filed, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints were verified and corrected according to HPD records.

During the same period, there were additional non-emergency issues including pest infestation, plumbing problems (bathtub/shower, basin/sink), and window frame concerns, all of which were subsequently addressed. A notable unresolved issue from 2020 involved a door frame inspection that HPD was unable to access, leaving the complaint in a status where re-filing was suggested if the problem persisted. As of December 2025, the building's recent history appears more stable, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by consistent "0" counts in the bedbug reporting system from 2021 through 2024.

The building passed a rodent inspection in October 2010, which is the most recent available data on this aspect. However, there are currently five open violations from December 2019 related to the first-floor apartment (1STFLO), including issues with roach infestation, kitchen sink waste line problems, defective window sashes, marble saddle repairs, and an inoperable carbon monoxide detecting device. While many previous issues have been resolved, these outstanding violations warrant attention as of the most recent inspection data.
