1754 Givan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, three-unit building at 1754 Givan Avenue in Baychester, owned by Yara Annechiarico and constructed in 2005, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history. Most notably, in April 2021, there was a series of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed and violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building currently has open Class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2021 through 2024, and an unresolved Class C violation from April 2021 regarding locked access to the building's heating system. Of particular concern are two active violations from 2018 related to occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy, with penalties totaling $37,250, though these may predate the current ownership by another party. The building underwent rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, passing inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2019, while failing inspections in 2012.

The heat/hot water issues in 2021 were documented through multiple HPD complaints, including one where inspectors were unable to access units for inspection. While the building has had periodic maintenance issues, particularly related to heating and compliance matters, there have been no significant safety violations reported in recent years. The most pressing current concerns appear to be the bedbug reporting violations and the outstanding Certificate of Occupancy issues from 2018, though the status of these may require further verification from current management.
