2408 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

2408 Westchester Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Westchester Square, constructed in 2001 and currently owned by Lalita Singh. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly in the first half of 2025, with three open HPD complaints as of April 2025 involving doors/windows, a refrigerator problem, and a water leak. Prior to this, from January to March 2025, there were multiple closed complaints related to plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and sink problems), water leaks (including heavy flow), flooring conditions, and an unsanitary pest-related complaint - all of which resulted in some violations being issued to the property owner.

The property has also had documented pest issues, with a December 2024 violation citing mouse and roach infestations in apartment 2R identified during an October 2024 inspection, though previous bedbug reports from 2019-2024 indicate no infestation cases. The building's infrastructure has required attention over the years, with a significant boiler-related complaint in July 2019 revealing corroded flue pipes and other maintenance issues, which were subsequently resolved. Multiple code violations have been documented, including issues with water leaks, plumbing fixtures, and pest control.

Recent HPD inspections in 2025 have focused on various building systems, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. While the building has undergone various repairs and corrections, as evidenced by many closed complaints, the persistence of recent open complaints suggests continued attention required to address resident concerns. Additionally, the building has maintained a record of compliance with New York City's bedbug reporting requirements, showing no reported infestations since 2019, and passed a rodent inspection in January 2019.
