2430 Fuller Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 2430 Fuller Street in Westchester Square, owned by Antonio Martinez, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years, with the most pressing issues emerging in early 2025. Multiple violations were documented in January 2025, including unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), and problems with walls, ceilings, and window frames. These followed previous concerns in August 2024 involving similar issues, though some of those complaints were resolved without violations being issued.

The property has a notable history of pest problems, with documented rodent and insect infestations in various units, particularly affecting Unit 1B. Significant violations were issued in 2024 related to lead paint hazards in Unit 1B, requiring the owner to address peeling paint and conduct proper lead abatement procedures. Additional maintenance issues have included problems with plumbing fixtures, electrical systems, and safety equipment such as carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were documented and subsequently closed through inspections. The building's most recent documented condition as of mid-2025 shows active violations related to mold and pest problems, with HPD inspections confirming these issues and requiring the owner to address them within specified timeframes.

Notably, the building has consistently passed bedbug inspections since 2020, with zero reported infestations across all units during each annual reporting period. While a rodent inspection in 2019 showed compliance, the subsequent years have seen recurring pest problems. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic habitability issues, though many previous violations have been resolved through appropriate regulatory processes. The owner has been required to address various building code requirements, including lead paint hazard remediation and pest control measures, through formal violations and corrective action plans.
