1134 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, 4-unit tenement building at 1134 White Plains Road in Unionport, owned by Saif Saleh, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past several years, particularly during the winter months. Most notably, between December 2022 and February 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints and violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with at least one unit (Apartment 2R) requiring specific repairs to heating and gas systems. Additional issues during this period included problems with cooking gas supply and access to the building's heating system.

More recent violations from March 2023 and April 2024 concern the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though prior records show a period of no infestation between November 2020 and October 2021 with zero units affected. The building has a documented history of rodent inspections from 2010-2014, all of which passed, indicating these issues were addressed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system problems, particularly during colder months, with complaints consistently occurring in winter months across different years.

While many issues were resolved following inspection and intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, the recurrence of similar complaints suggests ongoing challenges with the building's systems. Recent violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance indicate potential oversight in maintaining up-to-date pest management documentation, though this may not directly affect current living conditions. The property has maintained its original 1926 structure as a New Law Tenement, which typically includes common areas and shared systems that require coordinated maintenance efforts.
