746 South Oak Drive, Bronx, NY 10467

746 South Oak Drive is a 3-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, currently owned by Gideon Stryker. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a heat and hot water complaint involving the entire building, which could not be investigated due to lack of access. In 2022, apartment 4 was identified with multiple violations including mold in the kitchen, defective GFCI outlets, a bathroom bathtub issue, and problems with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors - though all violations were certified as corrected by June 2022.

Apartment 6 also had violations in 2022 regarding a defective fire escape window and closet door. Historical records show various plumbing, flooring, and paint issues reported in 2019. The building's mechanical systems have faced scrutiny, with an ECB violation in 2018 concerning boiler maintenance issues that incurred a $1,562 penalty. While the building experienced rodent activity in 2019 requiring multiple bait applications, inspections since 2020 have shown passing results.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2018 showing zero affected units. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in 2019 and 2022, with more recent concerns centering around heating systems and lack of access for inspections. While many violations appear to have been addressed promptly, the October 2023 heating issue indicates that some maintenance concerns persist. The building's rodent control efforts in 2019-2020 suggest past pest management challenges, though these appear to have been resolved. The property has consistently passed annual bedbug inspections, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
