816 Edison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 816 Edison Avenue in Throgs Neck, owned by Gilda Kelly, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2025, the building faced multiple urgent complaints concerning unsanitary conditions, including reports of mold, pest infestations, and problems with heat and hot water. While inspections were attempted for some of these complaints, HPD was either unable to gain access or received no timely response from residents.

The building has also accumulated four open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, which is particularly concerning given the property's history with pests. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with basic services and sanitary conditions. In 2022, there was a complaint about chemical odors, and in 2019, concerns were raised about garbage/recycling storage.

The property has one active Environmental Control Board violation from March 2019 regarding improper parking in a residential district, for which a penalty of $250 was imposed. While the building passed a rodent inspection in July 2019, it previously failed an inspection in January 2011 for unspecified reasons. It's worth noting that the building's age (built in 1930) and classification as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" suggest it may have undergone some form of conversion or modification from its original use.
