1992 Givan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-unit, two-story building at 1992 Givan Avenue in Eastchester, owned by Sherry Adjapong-obeng and constructed in 1996, is currently facing multiple maintenance challenges that significantly impact resident quality of life. The property has experienced recurring issues with electric/gas ranges, with three complaints filed between February and July 2024, including two emergency calls in July 2024, though HPD inspections found no violations in these cases.

More concerning are the several open violations from a February 2024 inspection, particularly in the third-floor apartment (Unit 3), including infestations of mice and roaches, visible mold conditions, and problems with paint/plaster surfaces. The building has also received violations related to safety requirements, including the need to post carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures in common areas, as well as a requirement to file an annual bedbug report, though the most recent report from 2023 showed no infestations during the previous reporting period.

The property has generated numerous service requests to HPD, particularly in mid-2024, with various issues being reported and investigated, some resulting in violations while others were closed without finding any violations. Of particular note is the cluster of complaints from February 2024 involving both unsanitary conditions (mold and pests) and paint/plaster issues affecting the ceiling and walls, which led to issued violations. The building's record shows a mix of maintenance concerns requiring attention to various systems and compliance with housing codes, with most recent hazards being concentrated in Unit 3.
