1259 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10472

1259 White Plains Road is a 5-story, 33-unit residential building constructed in 1927 in the Soundview neighborhood, currently managed by owner Jimmy Lulanaj. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple HPD complaints filed and resolved between 2023 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with building-wide infrastructure maintenance. The building has documented notable problems in Unit 2C, including rodent infestations (October 2023), plumbing issues, window guard violations, and mold problems reported between 2022 and 2023, though these violations were eventually certified as resolved.

There is also a historical record of pest management activity, with inspections showing both rat activity and successful control measures between 2009 and 2022. The building's violation history includes several concerns about energy efficiency compliance, with issues related to the display of energy scores and benchmarking reports between 2019 and 2023. A significant violation was noted in 2018 regarding an allegedly illegal apartment conversion on the first story, though this appears to have been resolved.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in recent annual reports from 2020 through 2024. While there have been multiple health and safety complaints, particularly regarding heating systems, most have been promptly addressed and closed by HPD, though access issues have sometimes complicated inspections. The building's maintenance history suggests active management response to various maintenance issues, though the recurring nature of some complaints indicates persistent challenges with building systems and features.
