1321A College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1321A College Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Ramy Barchak. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in July 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building, sanitation problems including pests and mold, and water leakage issues. These problems resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, most notably in Apartment 1A, where violations include a carbon monoxide detector deficiency, electrical light fixture issues, and various maintenance problems including pest infestations (both roaches and mice), mold, and deficiencies in plastered surfaces.

While many of these complaints have been closed, several open violations remain as of the latest inspection. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally favorable results, with recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and earlier passing compliance for pest control. However, a failure was recorded in December 2022.

Multiple inspections conducted between 2020 and 2024 show a pattern of inspections being completed, suggesting ongoing monitoring of the building's conditions. The building's water-related issues appear to be an ongoing concern, with both slow and heavy leaks reported in 2024, though no violations were issued for these complaints. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, with the most recent inspections consistently passing, indicating effective pest management in recent months despite the earlier infestation issues.
