1936 Hunt Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The three-unit, two-story building at 1936 Hunt Avenue in Van Nest, owned by Ronald Kandov, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2020. Most recently, in April 2023, a violation was issued for unpermitted construction of a partition with door opening in the cellar level, resulting in an active penalty of $6,250. Earlier, in the same month, there was a partial stop work order related to work without a permit.

The building had significant boiler-related issues in 2020, including violations for hazardous gas tubing and defective equipment, though these were resolved, with one requiring correction certification that remained pending until January 2023. Plumbing problems were documented in 2020, including water supply issues that required HPD inspection, though no violations were found. The building has had consistent bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with the most recent report filing showing no infested units for the 2021-2022 period.

Rodent inspections show a generally good record, with the most recent inspection in January 2023 passing, though there was a failure noted in May 2017. The property appears to have overcome many of its past maintenance challenges, though the recent unpermitted construction violation indicates ongoing compliance issues. The building, constructed in 1905, has maintained its status as a "heretofore converted Class A" multiple dwelling.
