643 Magenta Street, Bronx, NY 10467
The 2-family residence at 643 Magenta Street in Olinville, managed by owner Marcellus Adams, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2020, with particular concerns about heating systems, water supply, and apartment conditions. The property, built in 1955 and comprising three stories, has documented multiple heating and hot water complaints, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment, throughout 2021-2022, some categorized as emergencies. These included violations related to hot water supply in December 2021 and water leak issues.
The building has also faced pest control challenges, including rodent and roach infestations, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. Significant building code violations emerged in 2021-2022, with active environmental control board violations totaling over $9,000 in penalties related to unauthorized modifications and failure to correct previous violations. These included illegal modifications to the cellar level, where unauthorized water, waste, and gas lines were reportedly installed.
Additional structural concerns have been documented, including problems with flooring in multiple areas and issues with bathroom fixtures. While there have been some improvements, as evidenced by recent passed inspections (including a rodent inspection in 2022), several open violations remain relating to repairs necessary in both the apartment and common areas. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with infrastructure systems, particularly regarding water and heating, despite multiple repairs and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
