1327 St Lawrence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1327 St. Lawrence Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Parkchester, completed in 1930 and currently owned by Rampersaud Sewsankar. The property has experienced recurring issues with pest control, as evidenced by four Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2018-2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements that remain open as of April 2024.

The building underwent multiple complaints in December 2018 regarding various maintenance issues including heat/hot water, electrical lighting, ceiling plaster, and unsanitary conditions, though these complaints were all closed without violations being issued during inspections. Of particular note, there were two separate complaints in December 2018 concerning illegal conversions, which resulted in Environmental Control Board violations for unpermitted work including a rear cellar bathroom and kitchen installation, as well as an unauthorized wood shed construction. These conversion-related violations were resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of proactive rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018, with all inspections passing successfully, indicating effective pest management during this period. The property has demonstrated prompt response to heat and hot water issues, with a documented resolution within one day for a December 2018 complaint. While multiple complaints were generated simultaneously in December 2018, they were systematically addressed and closed, suggesting an organized response to tenant concerns. The most recent violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements suggest ongoing compliance oversight is needed in this area, though it's worth noting these are administrative violations rather than directly impacting resident comfort or safety.
