1341 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

This 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 1341 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Md Hassami Rafsanzani, has been facing recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. Most notably, in December 2023, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and heat/hot water problems, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These issues were classified as non-emergency and emergency complaints, though they were subsequently addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has a concerning history of pest infestations, with multiple pest-related complaints documented in December 2023 alone. Between 2018 and 2019, there was a persistent rodent problem, with repeated inspections showing rat activity and multiple instances of bait application during 2018-2019. However, a more recent inspection in May 2023 reportedly showed a passed result for rodent activity, suggesting some improvement in this regard. The building, constructed in 2007, is classified as a 2-family house, though it contains 3 units.

Its current maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with both pest control and heating systems. The pattern of complaints in December 2023, occurring simultaneously, suggests potential systemic issues affecting multiple units. While some of these problems have been addressed through HPD intervention, their recurring nature points to possible underlying maintenance challenges. The property has had regular inspections and responses to complaints, with most recent issues being resolved, though the high frequency of pest-related complaints and heating system problems in a short period raises concerns about the overall maintenance of building systems and common areas.
