Active hazardous code violations, pest infestations, and indoor vapor calls dominate the record of this three-unit house.
A 2005 three-family house in the Bronx with severe operational friction on file. The record shows unresolved hazardous code violations alongside repeat chemical vapor and odor reports that point to indoor air quality issues. Three things to know:
Thirteen open violations cover active pest infestations, roof leaks, and defective plumbing. The building carries 13 open violations, including three immediately hazardous Class C citations. Records document active roach and mouse infestations in Apartment 1 and Apartment 3, along with a leaking roof, ceiling leaks, and defective water lines.
Vapor and chemical odor complaints indicate indoor air bleed. A call for chemical vapors and gases was logged at the building in December 2025, alongside two smoke-and-vaping reports. Across the three blocks around the building, seven indoor air quality complaints were logged in the past year, pointing to persistent odor and vapor migration through shared risers or vents.
Deed filings show a continuous loop of transfers between the same two parties. Deed filings show the property passing repeatedly between an individual owner and an entity named 848 Vannest Avenue Inc since 2018. That kind of circular deed activity typically reflects tax maneuvering or internal refi structuring rather than standard open-market sales.
