324 Torry Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The two-family house at 324 Torry Avenue in Castle Hill, built in 2002 and owned by Ranjee Ragnauth, has had several noteworthy incidents over the past several years that merit attention.

Most significantly, in May 2021, the Department of Buildings conducted an inspection that revealed an unpermitted structure - a fully detached 1-story building measuring approximately 18' x 15' x 12' - which led to an Oath Violation and subsequent Environmental Control Board violation, though no penalties were ultimately imposed. The building's history also includes a 2018 incident involving the Bank of New York Mellon, when the property was found vacant with an open side yard gate and broken attic vent, resulting in a $1,562 penalty for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, though this balance was later resolved.

In August 2021, there was a violation related to the failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous ECB violation, though this was dismissed in March 2022. On a more positive note, the building appears to have obtained proper permit authorization in June 2020 for work classified under EW (Emergency Work), with the permit successfully issued and recorded.
