828 Calhoun Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

This two-family house at 828 Calhoun Avenue in Throgs Neck, owned by Vito Chirico and built in 1950, has experienced several significant maintenance issues throughout 2018-2019. The building faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints reported through 311, including emergencies in February and October 2019 affecting the entire building.

Electrical issues were also prevalent, with complaints about lighting, outlets, and wiring in May 2019, some of which were classified as emergencies. The property dealt with unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, leading to violations being issued in April and October 2019, and these issues were also cited in Housing Maintenance Code violations for requiring cleanup of refuse accumulation in various areas around the building. Additional concerns during this period included plumbing issues, rodent infestations, and various apartment-specific problems in Unit 1, including bathroom mold, floor damage, and plaster repairs needed as documented in November 2018 violations.

The building underwent rodent inspections in April and July 2019, both of which failed for unspecified reasons. While many of these complaints and violations have been closed, with some resolved through inspections and corrections, the frequency and variety of issues during this period suggest a pattern of maintenance challenges that may have affected resident comfort and safety. The most recent documented issues are from 2019, and there are no publicly available records of complaints or violations from 2020 to the present (July 2025), though this does not necessarily indicate that no problems have occurred since.
