1213 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1213 Ward Avenue is a two-family residential property located in Parkchester, consisting of two stories and built in 1930, currently owned by Guillermo David. The building's maintenance history reveals a significant temperature-related health and safety issue in December 2018, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development identified a violation in the second-floor kitchen of Apartment 2, where water temperatures were found to exceed the 130°F threshold, creating potential scalding hazards.

While this violation was marked as "closed," the record indicates no documented certification of the correction. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections over nearly a decade, with the most recent inspections in 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022 all showing compliance.

This pattern of successful pest control verification suggests effective ongoing maintenance of the building's hygiene standards. Prior to the 2018 water temperature violation, the building's historical record shows no significant maintenance violations or safety concerns, and the property has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections since then, with the longest interval between inspections being approximately 12 months. The property's overall maintenance record as of 2025 indicates generally acceptable conditions, with the exception of the 2018 water temperature violation which stands as the only documented housing maintenance code violation in recent years.
