1459 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 1459 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Jiban Mondal, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. As of May 2025, there have been multiple unresolved issues including mold, unsanitary conditions, pest problems, door issues, flooring concerns, cabinet problems, and wall deterioration - all of which prevented HPD from completing their inspections.

The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water issues, with four separate complaints from late 2021 through early 2023, though inspections ultimately found no violations in some cases. Most recently, in August 2024, a violation was issued regarding defective self-closing doors in Apartment 1R, while multiple open violations remain from July 2023 concerning required safety and maintenance postings in the public hall, including smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide device requirements, and gas leak procedures.

The building's pest management history shows periods of both compliance and non-compliance, with the most recent bedbug report (May 2024) indicating no current infestations. While rodent inspections between 2017 and 2022 generally passed, there was one failed inspection in September 2020 for "Other Reasons." The current pattern of unresolved maintenance issues, particularly those recorded in 2025, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and tenant comfort.
