1321 St Lawrence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The Parkchester property at 1321 St Lawrence Avenue is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1925 and currently listed as a converted Class A property under the ownership of Kissoonlall Godfrey. The building has a concerning pattern of open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, all concerning the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

While these violations do not directly indicate an active bedbug infestation, they suggest ongoing compliance issues with building management. The building's most recent inspection history shows a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018, indicating generally good maintenance regarding rodent control.

However, there was one significant complaint filed in December 2021 regarding an alleged illegal conversion at the property (complaint number 2329666), which was assigned a "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt" disposition in June 2022, suggesting that inspectors were unable to access the property to conduct a thorough investigation. While the building is now nearly 100 years old, the most pressing concern for current and prospective tenants appears to be the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, which have persisted for multiple years despite inspections.
