1836 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-story, two-family residence at 1836 Westchester Avenue in Soundview, owned by Munir Moflehi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly affecting Unit 2, over recent years. Most notably, in December 2022, the apartment was found to have active pest infestations, including both mice and roaches, leading to open violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that remain unaddressed as of July 2025.

The building has also faced recurring heating system problems, with multiple violations documented in 2022 regarding defective radiator components, including broken air valves and missing control handles, affecting various rooms in Unit 2. Earlier incidents include 2019 window issues that HPD could not inspect due to access problems, and rodent-related complaints in 2019 that followed previous rodent infestations documented in 2013. While recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicate no occurrences during the 2022-2023 period, the property's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with both pests and building systems.

The building was constructed in 1920 and has undergone multiple rodent inspections since 2010, with most recent inspections passing, suggesting some improvement in pest management practices. However, the pattern of open violations and maintenance issues, particularly in the most recent years, indicates ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. The HPD violations from December 2022 specifically note the presence of both mice and roaches throughout Unit 2, while heating system violations document deficiencies in multiple radiator installations throughout the unit.
