1530 Story Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 13-story, 212-unit residential building at 1530 Story Avenue in Soundview, owned by Christine Chorny, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its 2017 construction, with particular concerns in recent months. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about mold (unsanitary conditions) throughout 2024, with the most recent complaints in December 2024 remaining unresolved due to inspection access issues.

The building has also faced plumbing and water supply problems, with several emergency complaints recorded in April 2024, including a building-wide heat and hot water issue that HPD could not inspect due to access restrictions. While some violations were addressed and closed, including individual apartment issues in unit 1212 (concerning base molding, terrace door, and intercom system), and building system violations, the frequency and nature of these maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges. The building's infrastructure, particularly the elevator systems, has been a recurring focus of complaints and inspections, with multiple reports between 2019 and 2025 indicating concerns about multiple devices and service availability.

Recent bedbug reports show at least one infested unit in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, though these were reportedly eradicated. A rodent inspection in July 2025 resulted in failure for "Other Reasons," marking a potential new area of concern for resident health and safety. The building has also experienced several administrative issues, including violations related to energy efficiency score display and benchmarking report filing, though these were ultimately dismissed or resolved.
