1651 Hunt Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462
The two-family house at 1651 Hunt Avenue in Van Nest, built in 1920 and currently owned by Yonatan Bahumi, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding pest control and building code violations. Most notably, the property has been grappling with rodent infestations, with the most recent inspections in 2025 (April and June) showing continued rat activity, following a pattern of rodent problems documented since 2018.
Recent inspections from 2024 revealed multiple serious Housing Maintenance Code violations, including water leaks and mold in the first-story public hall, unauthorized modifications to the cellar (including illegal plumbing and electrical installations), and an infestation of rat excreta in the cellar area. The building's illegal conversion status has been a persistent issue, with active violations indicating the unauthorized use and modification of cellar spaces into Class "A" apartments, complete with improper kitchen and bathroom facilities.
Historical records show several access issues during inspection attempts, as noted in complaints from 2018-2019 regarding building maintenance and structural concerns, though these were ultimately marked as inspector unable to gain access. The Department of Buildings currently shows an active Environmental Control Board violation from February 2024 with a $12,500 penalty related to the illegal cellar apartment conversion. While there have been periods of compliance with rodent inspections (notably in 2022 and 2019), the recurring nature of these violations, particularly the recent 2025 inspections showing rat activity, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and code compliance.
