1240 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 38-unit, 4-story building at 1240 Stratford Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Besim Pervizaj, has experienced recurring issues with its heating system over the past three years, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in February 2025, there are two open complaints regarding flooring and ceiling conditions, while December 2024 inspections revealed multiple violations related to an individual unit (B8) that included mice infestation, hot water issues, and problems with plaster surfaces.

The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, with violations noted in December 2024 regarding self-closing door mechanisms in public areas, and earlier issues with window repairs. The property has maintained a regular record of rodent inspections, passing most recent inspections through 2025, though there was one failure noted in March 2022.

The building's management has generally responded to emergency complaints, as evidenced by most complaints being closed with verified corrections, though some recent issues remain unresolved. Two significant administrative violations were noted in 2024 regarding unauthorized alterations to the first-story public hall, related to metal frameworks and glass partitions, for which correction plans are required. On the positive side, the building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations over the past several years, and it has generally passed various health and safety inspections, including recent rodent inspections.
