1535 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The 10-unit, 5-story tenement building at 1535 Westchester Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Hamad Ali, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues, particularly in recent months. As of April 2025, there are four open emergency complaints regarding door issues, and there have been multiple recent concerns about heat and hot water systems, with six closed complaints between March and April 2025, indicating recurring problems with building services.
The building has an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from October 2024 regarding defective plastered surfaces and paint in the bathroom of apartment 3B, as well as several open violations affecting apartment 2A concerning water leaks, bathroom repairs, and pest control. The property has a concerning history of boiler and heating system issues, including two recorded defective/inoperative boiler complaints in 2020 and 2025, and an active violation from 2020 regarding improper piping and boiler operation conditions. The building has also failed to regularly file required external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2020, 2021, and 2023).
While recent rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 have passed, there were several failed inspections between 2022 and 2019. Notably, the building has maintained a record of no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2023, 2024, and 2025). The current open door-related complaints and the multiple heat/hot water complaints earlier in 2025 suggest persistent building systems maintenance challenges, while the various open violations from 2022-2024 indicate ongoing issues with unit-specific repairs and building security systems.
