1058 Manor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1058 Manor Avenue in Soundview, owned by Luis Acosta, has faced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant being persistent rodent problems. Between 2023 and 2025, the property has shown ongoing evidence of rat activity, with multiple inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) confirming infestations as recently as June 2025.

These inspections followed a May 2025 complaint about conditions attracting rodents, which resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building also has recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations dating back to 2021 that remain unresolved as of 2024.

Additional maintenance concerns include a heat and hot water emergency complaint in late 2023, which was resolved within days, and various Department of Buildings complaints regarding fence height issues at the adjacent property (10472 Manor Avenue), which resulted in a $500 violation in 2024 for exceeding permitted height requirements. While some rodent control efforts have been implemented, as indicated by bait applications and compliance inspections in 2023-2024, the pattern of inspections showing rat activity suggests an ongoing pest management challenge. The building's age (built in 1930) and classification as a "New Law Tenement" further underscore the property's historical and regulatory context within the New York City housing system.
