1339 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1339 Commonwealth Avenue is a two-family residence located in the Parkchester neighborhood, owned by Leandra Alexander-Peters and constructed in 1925. The 2-story building has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2F) in September 2019, when multiple violations were documented including electrical outlet problems, rodent infestations (mice and roaches), and inadequate hot water supply, though these violations were subsequently closed.

The property has had ongoing concerns regarding illegal conversions, with active and closed complaints in 2025 and 2021 respectively, though inspections did not warrant violations on one occasion, and access was not granted during an inspection related to the most recent complaint. The building's maintenance history shows a range of issues requiring attention, including a 2021 rat sighting that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found at that time.

However, it's worth noting that despite these incidents, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2023, with the most recent inspection in May 2023 showing no violations. Additional complaints were filed in 2019 regarding plumbing and electrical issues, though these were categorized as emergencies and non-emergencies, and subsequently closed. The building's documented history suggests periodic maintenance issues requiring attention, with particular concentration of problems reported in 2019 affecting the 2F apartment, though many of these matters have been resolved through proper channels.
