711 Garden Street, Bronx

A 1970s Belmont rental that keeps its affordable status but faces notable day-to-day friction.

Built in 1971, this 166-unit mid-rise operates under Mitchell-Lama and low-income housing tax credit programs, keeping its rents regulated. TGA GP HOLDCO LLC, with Sarah Murdoch as head officer, acquired the property in May 2023 for $17,813,447. While its housing programs keep it stable, the building has some operational hurdles. Three things to know:

Twenty open violations are currently active against the building. The active files are concentrated, showing ongoing issues that haven't been fully wiped clean since the 2023 sale. While there are no immediately hazardous class-C violations open right now, the physical plant still requires constant work to stay ahead of tenants' service requests.

A severe, repeating banging noise has triggered dozens of complaints. With 133 residential noise calls on the record, the vast majority are for rhythmic banging or pounding. The most recent complaints were logged on July 11, 2026, pointing to a persistent system issue like a rattling pipe, water hammer, or a tenant friction point that is still very much active.

Unsanitary conditions and plumbing leaks are the primary tenant complaints. The record carries 49 complaints for unsanitary conditions, 24 for paint or plaster, and 8 for water leaks. When combined with corridor patterns of pests and mold, it suggests steam, moisture, or riser issues that tend to break through walls in buildings of this vintage.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 143 street-level noise calls within a three-block corridor over the past year, mostly for loud music
• 76 illegal parking complaints in the three-block corridor, highlighting tight street parking
• 14 elevator complaints logged within three blocks over the last twelve months
• Typical Belmont block patterns — street noise and parking squeezes are present, but the building itself holds the line on basic systems.
