545 Edison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

545 Edison Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Throgs Neck, owned by Anthony Puma and constructed in 1986. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with a particularly notable cluster of problems in late 2023 through early 2024.

Multiple complaints were filed between September and November 2023 regarding water leaks, flooring issues, and problems with paint/plaster on various surfaces, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in these instances. Most recently, in January 2025, several non-emergency and emergency violations were recorded, including issues with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, broken window guards, unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), and a missing carbon monoxide detector.

The building has an open violation from a June 2023 inspection related to pest infestation in Apartment 2, along with multiple violations concerning water leaks, safety devices, and various repair needs. While the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections (2010, 2014, and 2019), it is worth noting that all recent HPD complaints have been resolved without inspections, and the building has reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings since 2020. The most recent heat/hot water complaint from late 2023 was resolved within two days, though a broader pattern of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
