678 Sagamore Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The 9-story, 90-unit residential building at 678 Sagamore Street, owned by Peter Fine and constructed in 2002, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly regarding sanitary conditions and elevator service. Between April and June 2025, multiple complaints were recorded regarding pest infestations, including rodent activity and unsanitary conditions, with some violations being issued by HPD.

The building has also faced recurrent issues with its elevator service, with three active complaints as of June 2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," though previous similar complaints were sometimes found to have no violation upon inspection. Other maintenance concerns include heavy water leaks, ceiling issues, and problems with garbage/recycling storage. The building's inspection history reveals several notable infrastructure issues, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 and 2025, particularly affecting apartments 6J and 9F regarding bathroom repairs and ceiling conditions.

The property has an active violation regarding the failure to file FISP Cycle 9C technical report by the required date in 2024, and past elevator and boiler system issues have resulted in Environmental Control Board violations. While there have been violations regarding building maintenance and facade conditions in recent years, as well as issues with sidewalk shed safety, many of these have been resolved or dismissed. The building's bedbug reports for the past six years show minimal activity, with only two documented infested units in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, both of which were reported as eradicated.
