1773 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-family residential building at 1773 Westchester Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Dale Gordon, has experienced recurring heating-related issues over the past several years, with particular clusters of problems centered around the winter months. Most notably, there was a series of heat and hot water complaints during the winter of 2022-2023, with three separate incidents reported between December 25-29, 2022, and January 3, 2024.

While two of these complaints were classified as emergencies and closed after verification of corrections, one complaint from December 2022 and one from December 2020 had inspection access issues, limiting the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's ability to verify the reported conditions. The building, constructed in 1965 and classified as a 2-family house, has demonstrated a concerning pattern of heating system reliability issues, particularly considering that four of the five documented complaints over the past five years were heat-related.

The most recent complaint from January 2024 was resolved on the same day it was reported, suggesting prompt attention to the issue, though the frequency and pattern of these complaints indicate an ongoing challenge with the building's heating system, with all incidents occurring during the winter months. While the resolution of recent complaints shows some responsiveness to tenant concerns, the historical record suggests that heating reliability has been a persistent concern for residents.
