1946 Chatterton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1946 Chatterton Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building in Unionport, built in 1935 and currently owned by Mohammed Karim. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly notable during 2018-2019, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Between March 2018 and November 2019, there were at least seven complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, some of which were verified by HPD inspectors, while others resulted in closed complaints due to lack of access for inspections.

The building also faced significant sanitary challenges in 2019, with two separate complaints regarding mold conditions that resulted in violations being issued. More recent history shows the building applied for multiple permits and faced violations in 2020 related to unpermitted work, including the installation of new gas meters and plumbing lines, though these violations were ultimately resolved. The property has undergone several inspections and corrections related to safety and regulatory requirements.

In 2019, multiple violations were issued requiring the building to post important safety information, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. Records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 to 2022, with no reported infestations during this period. The building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2014, indicating no significant pest control issues in recent years. The most recent open violation on record, dated April 2024, relates to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though previous filings from 2021-2022 indicate no infestations were present during those reporting periods.
