1259 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1259 Ward Avenue is a 2-family residential building located in Parkchester, owned by Nurul Islam, and constructed in 1930. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly during 2022, when multiple complaints were filed between January and April, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These heating problems were generally resolved within a few days of reporting, though one instance in February involved inspectors being unable to gain access to verify conditions. In October 2022, there were additional utility issues, including a power outage that was promptly addressed by HPD. The building has been subject to various maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 1, where a series of violations were documented in 2021-2022, including pest infestations (roaches in 2022), water leaks, and multiple infrastructure repair needs such as broken fixtures and light sources.

However, the building's rodent inspection records from 2016 through 2025 show consistent passing results, indicating effective pest management as of mid-2022. While the property has had two complaints filed with the Department of Buildings regarding unauthorized work and permit issues in 2021-2022, both were resolved without violations being warranted. Notably, all housing maintenance code violations from 2021-2022 have been addressed and closed, showcasing compliance with necessary repairs.
