79 Westchester Square, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-story, six-unit building at 79 Westchester Square, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ivan Michos, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years that merit attention. Most notably, in late 2024, significant violations were documented in apartment 3R, including inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, the presence of rodents, missing window guards, and a sagging wooden floor that required repair.

The building also faced various emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues during 2024, including problems with flooring, plumbing, appliances, and door systems, though these were generally addressed promptly and closed out. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and appliance-related issues, particularly during 2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water supply problems, refrigerator concerns, and other appliances. The building's environmental safety was called into question in 2024, with violations related to lead-based paint hazards in apartment 3, though these were certified as addressed by late October 2024.

While a food poisoning complaint was lodged in January 2024, it was determined to be an isolated incident. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases, and passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2013, though bait was applied in 2013. The property's 311 service request history shows various other concerns, including issues with garbage storage and mailbox access, though many complaints were either closed without violations or required re-filing for inspection.
