736 Bartholdi Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 736 Bartholdi Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Marlene Gayle, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The property, constructed in 1925 and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building, faced significant challenges in 2022, including the presence of mold, pests (specifically mice and roaches), and carbon monoxide safety concerns within Apartment 2.

Multiple complaints were filed during 2022 regarding unsanitary conditions, with violations issued for pest infestations and safety equipment failures, including non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors and problems with smoke detectors. The building also experienced issues with water heating system access inspections in 2021 and had maintenance concerns regarding a refrigerator in mid-2022.

More recent developments include a 2024 violation issued for failure to file the annual bedbug report, though the building has demonstrated a clean record in bedbug-related matters for the reporting periods of 2023-2024 and 2021-2022, showing no infested units or eradication issues. The property underwent inspections in 2022, which revealed various maintenance needs in Apartment 2, including requirements for repairs to plastered surfaces, door hardware, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and lead paint remediation. Despite these issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022, indicating effective pest control measures, and many of the earlier violations have been marked as closed, suggesting that most identified issues have been addressed.
