2146 Chatterton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2146 Chatterton Avenue in Unionport, owned by Imrit Ganaishlal and constructed in 1927, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, the property has ongoing plumbing concerns, with multiple complaints in 2023 regarding a toilet and basin/sink that were not able to be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), and an emergency heat/hot water complaint in February 2022 that resulted in violations.

The building currently has open violations from March and April 2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. A comprehensive inspection conducted in February 2022 revealed multiple serious violations, particularly affecting apartment 1F, including inadequate heat supply, missing carbon monoxide detectors, lack of hot water at fixtures, improper posting of heating system access information, security issues with the boiler room door, missing smoke detectors, and window guard non-compliance.

Though some of these violations were subsequently closed, they indicate significant past concerns about safety and maintenance. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections (most recently in February 2022, as well as in 2014 and 2010), which suggests some stability in pest control. While the property has a long history, dating back to 1927, the recent pattern of unaddressed plumbing complaints and multiple open violations warrants attention, though it's worth noting that many of the documented issues are from 2022 and 2023.
