1327 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-unit, two-story building at 1327 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Hilda Maldonado, has experienced persistent pest-related issues over recent years, with significant concentrations of complaints occurring between 2022 and 2023. The most recent activity includes multiple pest complaints in May 2023, though inspections were not conducted for some cases, and only one inspection in this period showed no violations.

The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with the most concerning being an open violation as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, and several June 2023 violations including problems with fire safety materials, loose banisters, and significant pest infestations including roaches and rats in the 2nd floor hallway, plus various maintenance issues such as electrical wiring concerns and damage to plastered surfaces. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mixed record, with most recent inspections in 2019 and 2023 passing, but earlier inspections from 2016 through 2019 had several failures for "Other Reasons," and an indication of rat activity in March 2019.

The property has experienced a pattern of pest-related complaints throughout 2022-2023, with multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct necessary evaluations. While some inspections resulted in no violations being found, the recurring nature of these complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges. The building, constructed in 1920, has had various maintenance issues documented over the years, with the most pressing current concerns centering around pest control and building safety requirements as evidenced by the open violations from 2023-2024.
