1268 Evergreen Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-family house at 1268 Evergreen Avenue in Parkchester, currently owned by Arman Kohanbash, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurrent problems with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints logged between late 2023 and early 2025, suggesting a persistent system inadequacy.

The building has also faced plumbing challenges, including a November 2024 water supply issue and heavy water leaks in March 2024, with multiple HPD inspections noting these problems. Inspection records reveal open violations from 2024 regarding pest infestations (specifically, roaches in Apartment 2) and water leaks affecting ceiling areas. While recent rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and throughout 2023 have passed, suggesting improved conditions in this regard, the building's history reflects ongoing concerns with basic systems and maintenance.

The property, built in 1930 and comprising two stories, has a documented history of various maintenance challenges, including a broken window guard in 2020 and previous violations from 2009 in the 3rd floor apartment concerning hot water, vermin, electrical outlets, waste connections, and general repairs. The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent control, showing an overall trend of passing inspections since 2019, with only one failure noted in 2019 for unspecified reasons. The frequency of heat/hot water complaints, particularly recent ones, suggests that building systems may require closer attention to ensure consistent resident comfort and compliance with housing maintenance codes.
