1361 Rosedale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, six-unit building at 1361 Rosedale Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Juan Garcia and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple power outage incidents in 2022, with three separate outages documented between August and September, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The property has also faced concerning safety issues, including unanswered complaints about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in October 2021, and more recently, a dog-related unsanitary condition violation in May 2025 that resulted in Health Department violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building's current records show multiple active violations that require attention. There are open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 related to rodent and insect infestations, and significant external low-pressure inspection compliance issues, with violations issued between 2018 and 2024 for failure to file required inspection reports.

Two concerning violations from late 2021 remain active, including an obstruction of egress to two apartments due to a radiator placement and obstruction by household items, which resulted in a $6,250 penalty. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 (July and May) confirmed ongoing rat activity, though previous inspections between 2014 and 2023 generally showed compliance or passing results. The building has also experienced various maintenance issues in 2021, including problems with plumbing fixtures, window frames, and intercom systems, though most of these complaints were addressed by December 2021 with no violations issued.
