1337 Bronx River Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-family house at 1337 Bronx River Avenue, owned by Christine Marajh, has been in East Morrisania since 1915 and has experienced several maintenance issues over the past years. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in August 2021, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding a range of issues including plumbing problems with the basin/sink, ceiling paint/plaster work, door/window repairs, window frame issues, cabinet problems, and an electric/gas range concern.

Notably, Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect these reported conditions, leading to their closure with a recommendation to file new complaints if issues persisted. Prior to this, in May 2021, similar door, window frame, and ceiling paint/plaster issues were reported and inspected, though no violations were issued at that time.

The building has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from a July 2020 inspection of Apartment 1, which documented multiple repair needs including broken plastered surfaces, defective ceramic tiles, sink waste connection issues, and various problems with ceilings, windows, and water leaks. While the building has maintained a passing record in rodent inspections from 2011 through 2019, indicating no pest control issues, the recurring nature of maintenance complaints and the existence of open violations suggests ongoing building maintenance challenges. The property has a two-story configuration with a total of two units, as documented in the current building records.
