664 Sagamore Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 664 Sagamore Street in Bronx Park, owned by Fiqirete Rexhaj, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most recently, in September 2024, there were emergency complaints about cooking gas and power outages, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. In late 2023, multiple complaints were recorded, including issues with heat/hot water, water leaks, multiple appliance problems (refrigerator and electric/gas range), and safety concerns regarding a broken window guard.

The building's most pressing current concerns relate to documented pest problems, with open violations as of May 2024 for rodent and roach infestations in both the second and third-floor apartments, along with issues regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has a notable history of infrastructure problems, including recurring heating system issues, multiple cooking gas complaints, and various appliance failures. Several inspections between 2020 and 2023 have documented rat activity, with bait applied in response, indicating an ongoing pest management challenge.

While the building has undergone some inspections and repairs, as evidenced by closed complaints and violations, the persistence of certain issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. It's worth noting that no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years, according to official filings. The building, constructed in 1940, has undergone various maintenance issues typical of older residential properties, especially in terms of heating, plumbing, and pest management systems.
