The two-family house at 1237 Elder Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Carmen Moina, is a 2-story building constructed in 1935. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, most notably between 2020-2021, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding water supply problems, heating issues, electrical failures, and various structural concerns including door frames, windows, and flooring. During this period, there were also several unsanitary conditions reported, including mold and pest infestations.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented, particularly regarding adequate heating supply, plumbing issues, and deteriorated structural elements in the first-floor apartment, with some violations remaining open as of 2025. The building faced multiple illegal conversion investigations between 2019-2021, with findings indicating possible unauthorized occupancy of additional dwelling units, resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations in 2021. More recent history shows improvements in building conditions, with the most recent 311 service request regarding door issues being resolved within three days in April 2023, and no major safety violations recorded since 2021.

The building has passed rodent inspections consistently from 2018 through 2025, indicating compliance with health standards, though it had one failed inspection in 2016 for unspecified reasons. A tenant safety inspection conducted in July 2023 found no violations. While the property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in the past, recent inspection results suggest improved conditions, though several Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 related to the first-floor apartment remain open as of the most current data.
