2032 Chatterton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-story, two-family house at 2032 Chatterton Avenue in Unionport, built in 1960 and owned by Tonya Parris, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2023, the building underwent multiple inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) following complaints filed on April 30, 2023, regarding various issues including water leaks (both damp spots and slow leaks), paint/plaster problems (including ceilings and walls), plumbing concerns (specifically related to a basin/sink), general maintenance needs (involving a cabinet), and unsanitary conditions related to sewage.

All these complaints remained unresolved for several months but were ultimately closed by September 2023 without any violations being issued. Prior to these recent issues, the building faced a heat and hot water problem in October 2022, which was reportedly resolved during the inspection, and a rat sighting complaint in June 2022 that resulted in a passing inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Looking further back, in 2018, there were three consecutive complaints regarding defective/exposed electrical wiring, all of which resulted in Oath Violations being served.

A subsequent violation was issued in September 2018 for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition, though this was later downgraded to a Class 2 or 3 violation and dismissed in March 2019. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly in 2023, where multiple complaints were filed through 311 services that suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. While many of these issues were ultimately closed without violations, the volume and nature of the complaints indicate various maintenance and repair needs within the building.
