1325 St Lawrence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1325 St. Lawrence Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1925 in the Parkchester neighborhood, currently owned by Nadira Ramnarain. The building has maintained regular rodent control inspections since 2010, consistently passing each inspection, with the most recent occurring in 2023.

However, there are currently four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, with inspection dates ranging from 2021 to 2024. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past years, including multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in 2019 and 2020, though inspections by HPD found no violations in some cases. A fire escape safety complaint was filed in June 2019, categorized as an immediate emergency, but no violations were issued upon inspection.

In 2018, specific maintenance issues were documented in Apartment 2R, including problems with plastered surfaces and ceiling paint in the kitchen, foyer, and one room, though these violations were certified as corrected by November 2018. Two garbage-related complaints were filed in early 2020, one of which could not be inspected due to lack of access. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, the consistent passing of rodent inspections since 2010 is notable, though the ongoing bedbug reporting violation represents the most significant current compliance issue.
