1371 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-family residential building at 1371 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, currently owned by Donovan March and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable cluster occurring in December 2022. During that month, the building faced multiple heat and hot water service complaints, including an emergency-report incident on December 26, though reports indicated these issues were resolved or required re-filing for further inspection.

Additionally, a safety complaint regarding a broken or missing window guard was reported but access for inspection was not granted. More concerning is the building's ongoing open violation status regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, with notices of violation issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 that remain unresolved as of April 2024. The property has maintained a satisfactory record in other areas, having passed rodent inspections in 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2022.

There was also a complaint regarding egress safety in November 2020, but inspectors were unable to gain access to the property for verification during their final attempt. The building has a small unit count of three and is classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, with its current structure consisting of two stories. While the heating/hot water issues and bedbug reporting violations are worthy of note, the building has successfully maintained compliance with rodent and other safety requirements over the years.
