1418 Harrod Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1418 Harrod Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building in Parkchester, constructed in 1920 and owned by Rommel Bantin. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with four complaints documented between 2019 and 2021, all requiring HPD intervention, though reports indicated restoration of services in each case. More concerning are the safety issues from late 2021, when emergency complaints about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and door security were filed - all these violations remain open as of 2023.

The building has undergone multiple inspections for pest control, particularly for rodent activity, with consistent bait application between 2018 and 2019 though more recent inspections (2019 and 2024) show passed results. The property has several open violations from 2019 that require attention, including issues with water stains, mold, and various apartment repairs. There are specific open violations affecting basement Apartment 3B related to roach infestation, plumbing problems, broken windows, and multiple paint requirements, though rodent inspections from 2019 show passing results.

More recently, from 2021 through 2024, the building has ongoing violations related to not filing annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code provisions. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with multiple emergency interventions needed for basic services. The most recent significant violations involve safety equipment (carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors) from late 2021, which had not been resolved by 2023.
