1615 Kennellworth Place, Bronx, NY 10465

1615 Kennellworth Place, a 2-family house located in Country Club, was built in 1930 and is currently owned by Giacomo Pesce. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple heat and hot water complaints filed between November 2021 and February 2022, totaling at least nine separate incidents. These complaints included both apartment-specific and building-wide problems, with some requiring HPD intervention where access to units was denied.

Several violations were issued in December 2021 related to building maintenance, including issues with the ceiling in the public hall on the second story and a heating violation in Apartment 2. The building's heating system has been a persistent concern, with documented violations including inadequate heat supply to various areas and restricted access to the heating system in the boiler room. Notable violations were certified between December 2020 and March 2021, indicating ongoing attention was required for these safety issues.

More recent concerns include an unmaintained swimming pool as of May 2021, for which the Department of Health is still addressing the matter as of October 2023. In terms of pest control, the property reported no bedbug infestations between November 2020 and October 2021, and it successfully passed an initial rodent inspection in November 2019. The building's history shows some accessibility issues for inspectors, as evidenced by complaints filed in 2020 regarding both illegal conversion and permit matters where access was denied.
