1258 Stratford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 1258 Stratford Avenue building, owned by Yechiel Weber, is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement structure built in 1927, located in the Parkchester neighborhood of the Bronx. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with emergency complaints documented in 2022 (two incidents), 2021, and 2020, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. A particularly concerning incident occurred in December 2021, resulting in a Class C violation for inadequate hot water provision in apartment 1R, though most violations related to heating systems have been marked as closed after inspections.

The building has also faced plumbing challenges, notably a radiator issue in November 2020, and various maintenance concerns including paint/plaster issues and pest control needs in April 2020, though no violations were cited upon inspection. More recent records show the building has undergone several inspections and maintenance updates, with the 2024-2025 period showing bedbug eradication efforts (with no current infestations), though rodent activity has presented ongoing challenges. Multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 indicate persistent rat activity, with baiting treatments applied in 2022 and 2023.

A gas utility referral in September 2024 resulted in access issues during inspection. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since early 2022, suggesting effective pest management, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown passing results. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular interaction with housing authorities, though many issues have been resolved through inspections and corrective actions.
