1654 Haight Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 2-story, 5-unit building at 1654 Haight Avenue in Morris Park, owned by Paul Finazzo, has experienced multiple maintenance issues throughout its history, particularly focusing on the period from mid-2021 to late 2021. During that time, there were numerous complaints and violations related to basic apartment maintenance, including multiple heat/hot water issues (four separate incidents in late 2021), various plumbing problems (bathtub/shower, toilet, and sink issues), and concerns about water leaks.

Notably, the basement apartment experienced significant issues, including a mold problem in late 2021 that was upgraded to a Class B violation, visible mold under the sink, and reports of roaches that required remediation. More recent inspections from October 2023 identified two violations in the basement area related to self-closing doors and inspection certificate display requirements, though both were certified for closure.

The building's systems have been under scrutiny for various maintenance matters, including electrical issues (with one incident in late 2021 where inspectors couldn't gain access), and several plumbing-related complaints. However, the property has passed rodent inspections (most recently in December 2022) and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported incidents in the past three years according to the most recent filings from 2022 to 2024. While there have been recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, recent records show fewer active violations and no major systemic problems reported in the past two years.
