1252 Manor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1252 Manor Avenue, a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Parkchester and built in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years under the ownership of Surindra Gooljar. Most notably, the building underwent multiple heat and hot water complaints in April 2024, with four emergency complaints filed between April 20-22 that were subsequently closed after verification of corrections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A door-related issue was also reported and inspected around the same period, though no violations were issued. A more recent violation was identified in June 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at the vestibule on the first story. The building's history shows an active violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report, which appears to remain unresolved as of the latest data.

The property has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units. However, there have been persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 indicating rat activity, including recent compliance inspections in April and June 2025 showing rat activity. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with basic building systems and infrastructure, particularly heating and door mechanisms, though recent bedbug reports and some violations do indicate proper management responses when issues are reported.
