1444 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The five-story building at 1444 Beach Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Diane Familytr and constructed in 1930, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The most recent service requests and open violations from June 2025 indicate persistent problems with flooring/stairs, electrical outlets/switches, and ceiling paint/plaster.

The building has a notable pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots through 2025, including an April 2025 incident involving heavy water flow. Apartment 10 has several open violations from December 2024, including water leaks in the kitchen, bathroom issues, and plastered surface problems, though some violations from December 2024 were subsequently closed, including a roach infestation that was abated in January 2025.

The building's mechanical systems have also faced scrutiny, with a Department of Buildings violation from May 2023 related to boiler room conditions resulting in a $625 fine for multiple violations including improper storage and flue pipe issues, though this was marked as active. While the building has had periods of pest control success, with no bedbug reports since 2024 and a generally passed rodent inspection record between 2015 and 2022, the recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. Multiple 311 service requests in 2025 for various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems with sinks and tubs, paint/plaster concerns, and flooding-related incidents, reflect a pattern of building maintenance needs that requires regular attention.
