1057 Evergreen Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1057 Evergreen Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Soundview and owned by Florian Cespedes. The 1940 structure has faced recurring regulatory challenges over the past several years, with the most recent and notable ongoing issues being repeated violations for failure to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, all classified as "Class A" violations under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building underwent significant changes in 2018, when violations were recorded for unlawful conversion of the second-story apartment into single room occupancy (SRO) units, resulting in two active Environmental Control Board violations with penalties of $625 and $500. These violations correspond with a Department of Buildings complaint from August 2018 regarding illegal conversion, though inspection attempts were unsuccessful.

The property has maintained a generally good record regarding rodent control, with most inspections between 2015 and 2019 passing, though there were some failures in 2016 and 2018 for "Other Reasons." The building's conversion from Class B to Class A occupancy appears to have been formalized as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," though this designation is now somewhat outdated given the ongoing Class A violations. The property's most pressing compliance issues as of now appear to be the unresolved bedbug report violations and the ongoing concerns regarding the apartment's illegal conversion status, which has persisted for multiple years despite various enforcement actions.
