1263 Bronx River Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 1263 Bronx River Avenue, owned by Bebe Khan and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its recent history, with the most pressing concerns emerging in January 2019 when a cluster of emergencies was reported and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These issues included heavy water flow problems, heat and hot water complaints, mold concerns, and deteriorating ceiling conditions, with violations specifically noted for water leak issues that required formal citations.

The building has also been subject to recurring bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent 2023 filing showing no infested units during the 2021-2022 reporting period, though an open violation from April 2024 indicates a failure to file the annual bedbug report. Historical records show a pattern of rodent-related challenges, particularly evident from 2013-2014 when multiple inspections noted rat activity and compliance failures, though subsequent inspections from 2016-2018 recorded passing results.

Earlier violations from 2019, all certified on February 15, 2019, documented specific issues in the 2F apartment including peeling paint surfaces, roof leakage affecting the ceiling, and problems with self-closing doors. More recent building maintenance inspections appear to show improved conditions, with no major violations recorded since 2019, though the building continues to require ongoing attention to administrative compliance matters such as bedbug reporting.
