1646 Andrews Avenue South, Bronx, NY 10453

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 1646 Andrews Avenue South in Morris Heights, owned by Abraham Choai, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2010. Most recently, in April 2025, the building faced multiple emergency complaints involving mold, toilet plumbing issues, and ceiling plaster problems, leading to HPD violations. These followed a pattern of similar issues documented in October 2022, when multiple complaints regarding ceiling problems, sanitation concerns, and heating issues were filed, though not all could be accessed for inspection.

The property has also experienced persistent heating and hot water supply problems, with open violations recorded in October 2022 specifically related to these utilities in Apartment 2. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with various building systems, though it has demonstrated some improvements in certain areas. For example, the property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting schedule and shows no active infestations as of the most recent reports from 2024, though the building had one bedbug reporting violation in 2023.

Rodent inspections have generally been successful, with the most recent inspections in 2023-2025 passing, except for one failure in 2019. While several repairs and corrections have been documented, including the resolution of some October 2022 complaints, multiple open violations remain from that period, suggesting incomplete resolution of certain maintenance issues. Notably, the building's health department inspections from 2022-2025 related to day care facility concerns appear to have been resolved, though specific details are not provided in the available data.
