629 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 629 Van Nest Avenue in the Van Nest neighborhood, owned by John Frith, has been in existence since 1920 and is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building. The property has experienced several noteworthy events over recent years, with the most significant being open violations regarding annual bedbug reporting for the years 2021 through 2024. These Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code remain unresolved as of the most recent data available.

In May 2019, the building had safety-related incidents involving smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases. A complaint regarding construction work beyond approved plans was filed in July 2021, but no violations were found upon inspection. The property has maintained a passing record on rodent inspections, with the most recent initial inspection in December 2022 resulting in a passing grade.

The building's record shows a mix of safety-related issues and compliance matters, with a particular pattern of bedbug reporting violations over multiple years. While the 2019 safety complaints were addressed without violations being found, the ongoing bedbug reporting compliance issues represent the most significant current concern from a regulatory standpoint. The property's history of rodent inspections appears positive, with successful passing results.
