1108 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-family building at 1108 Stratford Avenue in Soundview, managed by Tolmattie Balgobin, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2020, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in October 2024 for an apartment-only issue that was reportedly resolved. The property has faced persistent electrical problems, particularly in June 2021, when multiple complaints about power outages, no lighting, and outlet/switch issues were reported, resulting in at least one violation.

Water-related issues were notably problematic in 2021, with several complaints about slow and heavy leaks, though inspections resulted in no violations. The building is currently facing an open violation as of October 2024 concerning damaged plaster and paint in the second-floor bathroom ceiling, though this has been certified as of January 2025. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results over the past few years.

While recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed, there were multiple instances of rat activity reported in 2023 and earlier in 2024, with bait application noted in October 2023. Historical violations include an electrical light fixture issue in apartment 3 (2021) and various building-wide maintenance needs such as loose stair handrails and wall painting requirements in communal areas (2018), all of which have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing issues through the HPD system, with most complaints being investigated and some resulting in violations that were subsequently addressed, though there have been some instances where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
