1663 Eastburn Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1663 Eastburn Avenue is a 43-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Ansel Duvivier. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably between November 2024 and June 2025, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding various safety and maintenance matters, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical wiring, heating systems, and plumbing. Of particular concern is the building's recent history of not allowing proper HPD inspections, with multiple closed complaints noting that inspectors were unable to gain access to the units requiring assessment.

The building was cited for various violations related to unauthorized alterations, particularly concerning suspended acoustical tiles in apartments 2C, 3C, and 4C, as well as issues with ceiling and wall plaster that were documented in inspections. These violations were ultimately certified as corrected by January 2025. The property has also faced challenges with building systems compliance, including multiple active violations related to failure to file required benchmarking reports of energy use (2019-2024) and an outstanding fine of $1,250 for not filing an acceptable amended Cycle 9A report regarding unsafe conditions.

The building's elevator system was inspected in 2023 with no violations noted, and while recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 showed mixed results, the most recent February 2025 inspection passed. Bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate one infested unit each year, with successful eradication each time, totaling three units affected over the past three years. The building's facade has been monitored under Local Law 11, with inspections conducted in 2022 showing it to be "Unsafe Initiated." While some historical violations have been resolved, the building's recent pattern of inspection noncompliance and multiple emergency complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
