753 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

753 Van Nest Avenue is a three-unit, three-story brick building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Kevin Brown. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in November 2018 when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed without access being granted for inspection. These complaints included concerns about window frames, a water leak with heavy flow, safety issues related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with ceiling paint/plaster.

Between July 2019 and late 2020, the building underwent several inspections and received violations related to building safety and habitability, including a C-class violation for soot accumulation in public hallways and various issues with windows, skylights, and a broken glass pane in the public hall areas. The property has faced ongoing compliance requirements, including annual bedbug report filings from 2021 to 2024, with no reported infestations during this period. A series of complaints regarding illegal conversions and construction issues were logged in 2019, suggesting concerns about unauthorized modifications, though inspections generally found no violations.

A building shaking complaint was filed in July 2019, leading to a vacate order that was rescinded in September 2021, along with a fire-related violation that was dismissed with corrected conditions. More recent records indicate improved maintenance, with the most recent bedbug report from 2024 showing no infestations and a passed rodent inspection in December 2022. The building's permit history from 2019-2021 shows regular maintenance and compliance activity, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the records.
