1322 Elder Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1920 in the Parkchester neighborhood, currently owned by 1322 Elder Ave LLC. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent complaints about heat and hot water maintenance in December 2023, followed by multiple housing code violations in January 2024 regarding faulty carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 3, and heating problems in the same unit. The building's heating system has a documented history of access problems, as evidenced by a December 2023 violation concerning locked access to the heating system.

The building has undergone various maintenance and safety inspections, with some significant issues recorded. In 2018, repairs were needed for air ventilation in the boiler room, and there were multiple repair violations in apartment 2 related to water leaks, ceiling damage, and plaster surfaces. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 to 2024, consistently reporting zero infested or re-infested units. Rodent inspections show a mix of results, with multiple "Passed" inspections from 2016-2018, though there was evidence of rat activity in April 2012 that required bait application.

The building has had some maintenance history requiring attention to various apartment-specific issues, including ceiling repairs and water leak abatement. The building's violation history indicates a pattern of heating system-related issues, particularly affecting apartment 3, along with periodic requirements for updates to safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Recent activity suggests ongoing concerns with building-wide heating infrastructure, though other major building systems appear to have stabilized with recent inspections reporting no significant new issues. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and shows consistent efforts to address various maintenance concerns as they arise, with most violations being promptly closed once addressed.
