825 Neill Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 825 Neill Avenue in Morris Park, owned by Carmine Bossio and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent months. Most significantly, an August 2023 complaint investigation revealed multiple concerns, including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower), flooring issues, outside building concerns (porch/balcony), and pest-related matters, though no violations were initially issued.

However, a subsequent September 2023 inspection of the second-floor apartment (Unit 2) identified multiple violations, including ongoing pest infestations (open violation for mice and roaches), water leakage issues, and various bathroom-related maintenance needs such as repairs to the wash basin, faucets, tiles, and ceiling surfaces, along with a carbon monoxide detector issue. While some violations have been marked as closed through repairs certified in September 2024, notably the bathroom faucet and various interior repair issues, the pest control violation for roaches remains open, with a certification deadline of September 2024. The building's recent history shows attention to rodent control, with inspections in 2023 showing initial rat activity in January followed by a compliance pass in March, and comprehensive bedbug reporting since 2020 consistently showing zero infested units, with no reported re-infestations.

Despite these pest control measures, the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly in the second-floor unit. The property has maintained compliance with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, showing effective management of this particular issue compared to the ongoing challenges with other pests. While recent violations indicate active property maintenance efforts, particularly with the resolution of many September 2023 violations, the persistence of certain open violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance.
