1814 Phelan Place, Bronx, NY 10453

The two-family house at 1814 Phelan Place, owned by Gil Broitman, has experienced persistent maintenance and health issues over recent years, with particular concerns regarding vermin and heating systems. Most notably, in early 2024, there were both rat sightings (March) and a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building (March), though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has a documented pattern of heating system problems, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints between 2018 and 2024, including two separate incidents in March 2019 and March 2024. A concerning series of rat activity reports was recorded between 2023 and 2025, with inspections showing both rat activity and the need for bait applications.

Additionally, there have been multiple unsanitary condition complaints, including issues with pests, mold, and general maintenance concerns, particularly in 2020 when multiple simultaneous complaints were filed. While the building has passed some rodent inspections and resolved certain issues, such as electrical and water problems in 2020, the recurring nature of heating and pest problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has shown no recorded bedbug infestations over the past four monitoring periods from 2021 to 2023, and inspections in late 2024 demonstrated some compliance with health regulations, though not consistently across all areas.
