1323 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-story, three-unit building at 1323 Beach Avenue in Parkchester, currently owned by Pitamber Dass, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating system problems, with a major heat/hot water emergency reported in February 2025 affecting the entire building. The building has also faced recurring mold issues, with three separate complaints in June 2024 alone, along with ceiling paint/plaster problems during the same period.

The property has a history of water-related issues, with two separate water leak complaints in 2021 resulting in violations, and more recent infrastructure concerns including findings of an obstructed rear fire escape, unauthorized modifications to fire safety features, and illegal construction work resulting in several active ECB violations from December 2024, each carrying a penalty of $1,250. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements in pest control, with the most recent bedbug report from May 2025 indicating no infested units. However, there was a period of rodent activity in 2021-2022, followed by compliance passes in subsequent inspections.

The property has undergone multiple failed inspections regarding illegal conversions in 2024-2025, with inspectors unable to gain access during their attempts. Earlier violations from 2021 included issues with ceiling damage and water leaks in the second-floor apartments. The building has maintained a Class A status, though it has faced scrutiny regarding unpermitted modifications, as evidenced by multiple illegal conversion complaints and associated ECB violations. The property owner has generally addressed violations when issued, though some complaints remain open as of the latest data, and most recent inspection violations from 2024 remain active as of May 2025.
