2719 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 2719 Fenton Avenue in Pelham Gardens, owned by Anthony Verrelli and built in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The property had a significant heating system problem in January 2021, with reports of no heat or hot water affecting the entire building, though this was subsequently resolved according to HPD records. A pattern of heating system-related concerns emerged in 2018, with multiple violations documented regarding inadequate heat supply, locked boiler room access, and heating system notice requirements, all of which were certified as corrected by July 2019.

The building faced infrastructure challenges during 2018, particularly in the basement apartment, including issues with vermin (flying ants/termites), plumbing fixtures, and maintenance problems, though these violations were also subsequently resolved. More recent history shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all reports from 2020-2025 indicating zero infested units. The property has also maintained rodent control compliance, passing a rodent inspection in February 2023.

However, there have been notable regulatory matters regarding the building's boiler system, with violations issued in 2022 relating to an unregistered boiler that resulted in a $625 penalty (still showing as active in inspection records). The building experienced several Environmental Control Board violations in 2023 regarding inspection failures, though these were ultimately dismissed. Additionally, there were inspections in 2023-2024 that noted problems with parking regulations and unauthorized vehicle storage at the property, which were served as Oath violations. While the property demonstrates a history of addressing maintenance issues and complying with various regulations, the pattern of heating system problems and plumbing concerns from 2018-2021 stands out as the most significant historical maintenance challenge.
