1038 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 1038 Leland Avenue in Soundview, owned by Chaoliang Chen, was constructed in 2014 and has experienced several noteworthy maintenance events over its history. Most recently, from 2021 to 2024, the building consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing zero infestation activity during the specified periods, indicating successful compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.

The building experienced significant issues in June 2019, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water and cooking gas, as well as a non-emergency complaint about pests. These incidents resulted in a Class B violation in July 2019 concerning inadequate hot and cold water supply in the 2nd floor kitchen sink of unit 2. Prior to these events, the building underwent several inspections between 2010 and 2018, with most passing rodent inspections.

However, there were some concerning results in 2013, including multiple failed inspections for "Other Reasons," and a Class C violation in 2021 regarding an improperly secured entrance door lock that was subsequently certified as corrected. The building has maintained a generally good record since 2019, with no major documented issues, though it's worth noting that the 2024 bedbug report was filed nearly 4 months after the deadline of March 31, 2024. The property's inspection and violation history suggests that while there were significant issues early in its occupancy, particularly in 2013-2014 and mid-2019, these have largely been addressed and resolved through the following years.
