2714 Gifford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 2714 Gifford Avenue in Schuylerville, owned by Amarilis Alba, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 2004. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues.

In 2023, the building experienced electrical lighting problems and refrigerator appliance issues that warranted HPD inspections and violations. The property has faced significant pest control challenges, particularly affecting Apartment 1, where multiple violations were issued between October 2023 and 2024 regarding cockroach infestations. Other documented maintenance issues have included problems with bathroom fixtures, lighting, flooring, and security locks in Apartment 1, most of which have been addressed and closed by HPD.

The building's recent history shows continued attention to regulatory requirements, including the annual bedbug reporting process, which has consistently shown no reported infestations between 2020 and 2025. In terms of overall building conditions, a rodent inspection in March 2019 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no significant rodent issues at that time. The property has maintained regular compliance with required inspections and reporting, though there are still some open violations as of the latest inspection records, particularly regarding pest control and other maintenance matters in Apartment 1.
