1116 Swinton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

1116 Swinton Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in the Schuylerville neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Ann Garcia. The building has experienced several significant safety concerns, particularly in early 2019, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding safety systems including carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and fire escape conditions. Residents also reported mold (an unsanitary condition) and issues with wall paint/plaster during this period.

While these complaints were closed due to inspection access issues, they indicate potential safety system maintenance challenges. More recent inspections from 2021-2023 revealed the building's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations or eradications between 2020-2025. A substantial number of violations were documented in 2019, including missing window guards in public areas, an uncapped radiator shut-off valve, and the presence of household items and construction materials blocking access in common areas, though these were certified as corrected by March 2019. The building's recent history shows improved maintenance and compliance, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2025) indicating no infestations.

A rodent inspection conducted in March 2019 resulted in a passing grade. While two illegal conversion complaints were filed in 2022, both investigations were closed due to inability to gain access during the final inspection attempt. The Department of Buildings granted an exterior work permit in March 2022, suggesting some level of ongoing building maintenance. The most pressing historical issues related to safety systems and common area violations appear to have been addressed, and the building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020.
