1830 Mcgraw Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

This two-family house located at 1830 McGraw Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Andrew Fernandez, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns centered around heating systems. In December 2019, there was a notable cluster of heat and hot water related complaints (four in total between December 3-26), resulting in violations being issued for at least one apartment's insufficient heat supply. More recently, in September 2023, there was an appliance-related complaint regarding an electric/gas range, which resulted in a Section 8 Failure designation.

The property is currently addressing some maintenance issues in Apartment 2, based on violations identified during an October 2023 inspection. These include problems with the bathroom facilities (including water closet bowl connection and ceramic floor tiles), as well as a requirement to repaint a hallway wall with light-colored paint. Despite these recent violations, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent inspection in May 2023 showing compliance.

While there was one rat sighting complaint in October 2018, it appears to have been an isolated incident given the multiple subsequent successful rodent inspections. The building's heating system history shows a pattern of issues, particularly during a concentrated period in late 2019, though there have been no further heating complaints reported since. The property has been generally maintained, with many previous violations having been resolved, including a 2019 violation regarding an illegal padlock at the building entrance, which was corrected in January 2020.
