1426 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1426 Beach Avenue is a 5-story, 34-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Haxhe Celaj and located in the Parkchester neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems. From November to December 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, though some complaints were duplicates of previous reports.

The building also faced an electric power outage in December 2024. Additional concerns emerged in late 2023, including a water leak and mold issue reported in December 2023, both of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations issued. The building has ongoing mechanical and safety concerns, as evidenced by violations recorded in December 2024 regarding defective building entrance door latches and self-closing door issues.

An inspection in early 2024 revealed several problems requiring attention, including a leaking roof, defective fire-retardant ceiling material, and various maintenance requirements in the public areas. These violations were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected. The property has a clean pest control record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in any unit over the past five years (2021-2025), and has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2012 and 2022. Finally, there are outstanding violations related to energy efficiency reporting requirements - an active citation for failure to display energy efficiency scores and a previously dismissed violation for not filing a benchmarking report in 2019.
