1373 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-family house at 1373 White Plains Road in Parkchester, owned by Cecil Coston Jr., has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years that warrant attention. Most recently, in January 2025, there was an open complaint regarding a door frame issue, with Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempting to notify the property owner and requiring tenant access for repairs.

The building has also demonstrated recurring problems with basic utilities and safety systems; in 2020, there was a building-wide heat and hot water issue (with violations issued), and inspections in November 2021 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2, including broken plastered surfaces and problems with an oven door, as well as issues with ceramic tiles that remain open as of January 2024. The building has experienced several appliance-related problems, including a resolved refrigerator issue in October 2022.

Safety concerns have been addressed, though some remain open - notably, the 2021 violation regarding the need for a properly functioning carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 2 (labeled as a Class B violation), while a similar issue in Apartment 3 from 2020 was closed after correction. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally good maintenance, with most recent inspections (2022, 2018, 2016, and 2014) passing, though there was one failure in 2014 for "Other Reasons." This three-story, 1920-built structure has exhibited several maintenance challenges that require ongoing attention, particularly regarding utility systems and safety equipment, while maintaining a generally acceptable standard in terms of pest control.
