1955 Hunt Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-family house at 1955 Hunt Avenue in Van Nest, currently owned by Dinamarca Cedeno Rasario, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2019. The most recent inspections in 2025 revealed problems with electrical outlets/switches, plumbing in the bathtub/shower, and wall conditions, though no violations were issued for the wall complaints. Earlier in 2025, there were also attempts to inspect issues related to lighting, mold, and pest problems, but HPD was unable to complete these inspections.

The building previously faced significant maintenance challenges between 2019-2021, particularly in the basement unit, where violations were noted for defective locks, plaster surfaces, water leaks, bathroom tiles, faucets, and electrical outlets. During this period, there were also documented issues with mold and pests in both units. A series of complaints and inspections from 2025 all required follow-up inspections due to initial inspection failures.

The property has generally passed rodent inspections, with the most recent one in January 2023 showing compliance. While the building's age (1905) is typical for the neighborhood, the frequency of recent maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and conditions. Notably, in 2021, multiple violations were documented in apartment 2, including problems with mold, plaster, and paint conditions, though subsequent inspections did not issue violations. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of requiring multiple inspection attempts to address various issues, as evidenced by the 2025 inspection outcomes.
