1151 Colgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 1151 Colgate Avenue property in Soundview, owned by Shlomo Denti and constructed in 1927, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water service interruptions affecting the entire building between 2020 and 2024, with emergency complaints filed in January 2020 and March 2022.

The property has also faced recurring rodent issues, with recent inspections in late 2024 and 2025 showing inconsistent results; a November 2024 inspection failed for "Other Reasons," while a January 2025 compliance inspection passed. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues requiring attention, particularly in apartment 2R. In 2023, several violations were documented in this unit, including problems with electrical wiring, light fixtures, and various maintenance issues such as plumbing work, water leaks, and pest infestations (specifically roaches in August 2023 and mice in October 2023).

The building has maintained an active record of responding to bedbug monitoring requirements, with no reported infestations between 2020 and 2024. Other infrastructure concerns have included doorway/window issues (March 2022), an electrical power outage (January 2020), and various building-wide maintenance requirements. While many violations have been addressed and closed, including heating system restorations and general repairs, the recurrent nature of heating and pest control complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
