1319 Elder Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1319 Elder Avenue is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Vedwatee Brijlall, located in the Parkchester neighborhood. The property has experienced significant recent maintenance issues, particularly in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water systems, electrical problems including power outages, water leaks, and door-related issues.

Violations were issued for some of these conditions, though not all inspections resulted in violations. The building has outstanding violations from mid-2024, including concerning conditions in Apartment 1R, such as inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures, floor repair needs, and a missing carbon monoxide detector, as well as a June 2024 violation for a mouse infestation that has since been marked as closed. The property has an active ECB violation from April 2024 regarding a disrepair condition of a garage structure with a $25,000 penalty, and another active violation from January 2024 concerning an allegedly illegally converted cellar apartment with a $12,500 penalty.

The building's systems have shown recurring problems with heat and hot water, as evidenced by multiple complaints throughout 2025, though some complaints were not substantiated upon inspection. Notably, the majority of rodent inspections between 2010 and 2018 showed passing results, suggesting that particular issue has been historically well-managed, at least prior to 2024. The building's recent history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems and the condition of common areas.
