1248 Bronx River Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-family house at 1248 Bronx River Avenue in Parkchester, currently owned by Raju Ahmed, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding various building systems and infrastructure, including heating/hot water systems, plumbing fixtures (bathtub/shower), doors, windows, and cabinet conditions.

While Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted inspections for several of these issues, they were unable to complete the inspections, leaving some concerns unresolved as per their recommendations to refile complaints if conditions persisted. A previous series of complaints from June 2023 regarding a window pane also required attention, though no violations were issued following the inspection. The building's history shows some concerning patterns from 2018-2019, including multiple complaints about potential code violations.

These included an illegal conversion, an unpermitted curb cut/driveway modification, lack of necessary permits for construction work, and issues with an allegedly inadequate fence. While these complaints were investigated and most were closed without violations, one resulted in an Oath violation being served. The property's age (built in 1920) and the nature of these complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to building systems and structural elements.
