1006 Duncan Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-story, three-unit building at 1006 Duncan Street in Williamsbridge, owned by David Refoua, has had several maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 2005. In 2018, there were significant water-related problems, including heavy flow water leaks and mold, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections.

A series of violations were documented in March 2022, primarily affecting the first apartment, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a broken kitchen cabinet drawer, and issues with bathroom walls requiring repairs and repainting. The property also faced cleanliness concerns with debris accumulation in the rear yard that same month. Earlier violations include a 2019 issue with a defective pressure relief valve in the boiler room, and a 2021 violation regarding fire egress safety involving obstructing bars or gates in the second-story apartment.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, with successful resolution of the 2022 violations by May 2022, though the fire egress violation from 2019 remains open as of October 2023. While there have been bedbug and rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2025, with a consistent pattern of zero infested units reported in recent bedbug filings (2022-2024) and passing rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022, the property did fail a rodent inspection in October 2018. The building's most recent HPD inspection in 2022 found no current violations, suggesting improved maintenance compliance, though the open fire egress issue from 2019 is notable.
