1235 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The 4-story, 38-unit building at 1235 Stratford Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Joseph Yasgur, has experienced several significant maintenance issues during 2024-2025. Most recently, in June 2025, there was a rat sighting reported and confirmed by the Department of Health, marking the return of rodent activity after inspections in 2022-2024 had generally passed. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed in February 2025 for the entire building, though some inspections could not gain access to verify conditions.
Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints from June 2025 indicate problems with plumbing (bathtub/shower), electrical outlets/switches, wall surfaces, and pest-related issues, including ongoing concerns about garbage/recycling storage. Earlier violations from 2024 show various maintenance challenges, including multiple issues in apartment 1H (water leaks, plaster/paint problems, and lead paint concerns) that are currently listed as "Open" or "Closed" without final resolution dates. Security-related violations were recorded in late 2024, including problems with entrance doors and locks.
The building's history shows some pattern of pest issues, with one reported bedbug infestation in 2025 (though these were previously eradicated) and two prior infestations documented between 2017-2019. The property, constructed in 1928, has undergone various inspections and received notice of violations regarding door hardware, water damage, and various maintenance systems, with inspections showing mixed results between passing and failing for rodent-related compliance. The building's documented history reveals persistent challenges with both basic utilities and maintenance systems, particularly affecting resident comfort and building security. The age of the building, combined with the nature of the reported issues, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require regular attention to ensure proper living conditions are maintained.
