707 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-family house at 707 Van Nest Avenue, owned by Ronald Kandov, is a 2-story brick building constructed in 1901 in the Van Nest neighborhood, currently containing three units. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a series of rodent-related complaints in 2023.

Between April and June 2023, three separate rodent sightings were reported, two of which resulted in confirmed violations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. A subsequent unsanitary condition complaint related to pests was filed in late June 2023, though no violations were found during the HPD inspection. The building has a documented history of appliance-related issues during 2021, specifically concerning electric/gas ranges.

Two separate complaints were filed in February and August of that year, both leading to HPD inspections that resulted in issued violations. In a positive note for resident comfort, the property has not reported any bedbug infestations between November 2022 and October 2023, with the recent filing for that period indicating zero affected or re-infested units. While the recent rodent issues do raise concerns about building maintenance and sanitation, the absence of recent bedbug reports suggests improvement in that area.
