Augrented Insights Report for 1531 Westchester Avenue

The 10-unit, 5-story NEW LAW TENEMENT building at 1531 Westchester Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Hamad Ali and constructed in 1913, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2023-2024, with recent inspections in November 2024 confirming inadequate hot water in apartments 4A and 4B, as well as ongoing accessibility issues with the heating system door lock in the boiler room. The building has shown persistent problems with pest control, with violations issued in 2024 regarding a roach infestation in apartment 4A.

Security and safety concerns are also evident, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in late 2024, including a defective entrance door latch and security issues, as well as a November 2024 violation regarding an improperly secured electrical outlet cover in apartment 3B. The building has undergone several inspections and complaints regarding various maintenance issues, including a significant cluster of complaints in August 2023 related to electrical wiring, plumbing, and work without permits, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. More recent complaints from 2025 show concerns about door/window issues, safety systems, and sanitation conditions.

While the building has maintained good compliance with rodent inspections in recent years, passing inspections in 2022-2025, there was documented rat activity in 2019 and 2020. The property currently has active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020 and 2023, which requires attention. Despite these numerous issues, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the past two reporting periods (2023-2025) and only one recorded rodent activity case among multiple inspections in recent years, suggesting some maintenance improvements may have been implemented, though persistent heating, safety, and pest control problems remain a concern.
