1141 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

This two-family residential building at 1141 Beach Avenue in Soundview, owned by Hera Miah, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 1910. The property has a documented history of rodent-related problems, particularly during 2018 when multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene regarding rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents. Inspections throughout 2018 and 2019 revealed persistent rat activity, though bait was applied in October 2018.

The building experienced recurring issues with hot water availability, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2018 and 2019 affecting both apartments, along with a violation regarding gas supply to kitchen fixtures in Apartment 1. The property's front yard maintenance was also cited as problematic in April 2018. The Department of Buildings records show several inspections and permit issuances, with two professional certification compliance audits in late 2019 resulting in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.

Multiple rodent inspections between 2013 and 2018 indicate an ongoing struggle with pest control, though there were some periods of compliance. The building permits issued in mid-2019 (PL and EW types) suggest some maintenance or improvement work was authorized during that period, with specific job numbers associated with the permits. While many of the historical issues appear to have been addressed, the building's records indicate a pattern of recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic utilities and pest control, though recent inspection results have shown improved compliance in some areas.
