1780 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The three-story, three-unit building at 1780 Westchester Avenue in the Soundview neighborhood, owned by Jay Baxt and constructed in 1925, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past decade. Most notably, there have been two documented incidents of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, in December 2022 and January 2019, both of which were classified as emergencies but could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues.
The building currently faces multiple open violations regarding unmet requirements for annual bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, as documented by HPD. Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 for failing to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, with similar violations for 2018-2022 also noted as active since 2023.
The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of rodent activity between 2010 and 2014, with several "Rat Activity" designations during initial and compliance inspections, though the most recent rodent inspection from July 2017 passed. While the property has a long history dating back to 1925, these recent violations suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance with safety regulations. The repeated heat and hot water complaints, though dated 2019 and 2022 respectively, indicate potential systematic issues with building systems, despite being unverified due to access concerns during inspections.
