696 Courtlandt Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451
The 7-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 696 Courtlandt Avenue in Melrose, owned by Pari Shojae and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems. The building has documented multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2021-2022, with emergency complaints registered in December 2021, January 2022, and November 2022, though HPD records indicate these issues were generally resolved, either through restoration of services or verification by HPD inspectors. In 2021, there were also reports of unsanitary conditions related to pest infestations, specifically noting issues with mice and roaches in apartment 4B.
This unit has been the center of several violation notices, including active violations as of July 2021 for pest infestation, and previous violations related to heat and hot water issues, including excessively high temperatures in December 2021. More recently, the building has encountered administrative compliance issues, with multiple active violations regarding Failure to File External Low Pressure Inspection reports for 2019-2023, which were issued between April 2023 and September 2024. These violations represent a potential safety concern regarding the building's pressure systems.
The property underwent rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, and most recently in June 2023, all of which passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. Bedbug reporting data shows one incident in 2020-2021 with one infested unit that was eradicated, and no reported infestations for the following year (2021-2022). The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of heating system issues, particularly affecting multiple units during winter months, with some instances of unsuccessful HPD inspections due to access issues. Despite these ongoing concerns, many older violations have been properly addressed and closed, indicating some level of responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
