1337 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-story, nine-unit building at 1337 Beach Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Shalini Vohra, has experienced recurring maintenance issues and violations since 2024. Most notably, there were significant problems in late 2024 involving heating and water systems, multiple plumbing issues, electrical problems including faulty outlets and wiring, unsanitary conditions with pests, and various structural concerns including window frames, doors, ventilation systems, and general maintenance matters. These issues culminated in emergency violations related to mold and water leaks in both the apartment (3R) and common areas.

The building also faced safety and compliance challenges, with two complaints about illegal conversion and unpermitted work between 2022-2023, though these were ultimately resolved. The property's maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of unresolved or recurring issues. While recent bedbug reports show no infestations, there have been multiple rodent inspections between 2017-2023, with mixed results.

The building has undergone various repairs, as evidenced by Housing Maintenance Code violations being certified as corrected, including repairs to faucets, electrical outlets, plaster surfaces, and pest abatement in apartment 3R. The most recent heat and water issues were addressed, though the resolution was contingent on tenant confirmation. Despite these improvements, the frequency and variety of maintenance requests suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and general upkeep. The building's age (constructed in 1926) and history of violations indicate that while some issues have been resolved, new problems continue to emerge, particularly in systems affecting resident comfort and safety.
