1342 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, three-unit building at 1342 Fteley Avenue in Parkchester, currently owned by Iqbal Miah, has experienced recurring heating issues throughout late 2023, with multiple complaints registered between November and December 2023 regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific heat and hot water problems. The building has also faced pest-related concerns, with unsanitary conditions involving pests reported in both November and December 2023.

Three significant housing maintenance code violations were documented between 2022 and 2024, most notably concerning fire escape ladder safety requirements, though one violation regarding bedbug report filing from April 2024 remains open. There were multiple complaints in early 2023 regarding work without proper permits, including an illegal conversion of garage space, though these inspections often resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access or found no violation warranted at the time of inspection. The building's environmental control board violations from May 2023 indicate unauthorized construction work, including interior demolition and installation of cement block walls and a metal door, with one violation remaining active and associated with a $500 penalty.

Despite these recent concerns, it's worth noting that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, with the most recent inspection in May 2023 showing compliance. While some heating and pest issues have been addressed (as per HPD closure resolutions), there are still open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements and some fire escape safety concerns that require attention. The building, constructed in 1920, has undergone various changes over the years, with recent complaints suggesting potential unauthorized modifications to the property's original configuration.
