468 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 468 Commonwealth Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Victor Ramdin and constructed in 1975, has experienced recurring heating system challenges over the past several years. The most recent issues occurred in early 2024, with multiple heat and hot water complaints filed between February and May 2024, including one incident involving unsanitary conditions related to pests that resulted in violations.

Similar heating system complaints were recorded throughout 2023 (February and July) and 2021 (September), suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. While the building's heating issues have typically been addressed promptly—with HPD verifying corrections in most cases—there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The property has generally maintained compliance with major regulatory requirements, as evidenced by a 2024 bedbug report showing zero reported infestations during the filing period from November 2022 to October 2023, and violations related to a construction enforcement complaint from 2018-2019 were ultimately dismissed. While the building's age and history suggest some wear and tear is to be expected, the pattern of heating-related complaints over multiple years indicates this remains an area requiring regular attention. The most recent complaints, focusing primarily on heating system issues and pest control, represent the building's most significant maintenance challenges in recent years, though most issues have been addressed within a reasonable time frame.
