1833 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-story, eight-unit building at 1833 Westchester Avenue in the Parkchester neighborhood, owned by Tony Huang, has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concern for building safety and resident comfort. Most notably, in December 2023, the building received multiple housing maintenance code violations related to flooring/stairs, paint/plaster issues, and building systems requiring attention, including concerns about mailboxes and intercom systems. These violations were particularly concentrated in Apartment 52, which documented problems with pest infestation, broken plastered surfaces, and tile repairs needed in December 2023.

An emergency violation from December 2023 highlighted a potentially hazardous condition with exposed screws on a handrail, though this was later classified as a Class C violation. The building's more recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, with active violations as of 2025 related to building systems including ventilation and ceiling issues. A significant matter currently pending resolution is an Environmental Control Board violation from July 2024 regarding unauthorized signage on the facade, with an imposed penalty of $6,250.

The property has also experienced some compliance issues with external low pressure inspection filings, receiving violations from 2018 through 2024, though most of these were dismissed upon review. While earlier years showed relatively stable conditions, with regular passed rat inspections from 2010 through 2021, the more recent pattern suggests increased attention required for building systems, maintenance, and safety concerns. The building's 311 service requests and HPD complaints reflect a range of issues, from sanitation problems in 2022 to various structural and maintenance needs that have emerged over time, most notably focusing on flooring, stairs, and paint/plaster conditions throughout 2023 and 2024.
