1445 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1445 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Roksana Talukder and constructed in 1924, has experienced recurring issues with basic services and maintenance problems over recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heat and hot water system failures, with four emergency complaints recorded between December 31, 2023, and January 3, 2024, affecting the entire building. The building has also faced rodent issues, with an initial failed inspection in January 2024, though subsequent inspections in February 2024 and earlier years showed compliance.

In 2021, significant violations were documented in Apartment 1F, including problems with door security, electrical systems, plumbing, and missing safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations remain active as of 2025, with particular attention needed to address multiple open violations concerning door mechanisms and safety equipment. The property has a history of maintenance challenges spanning several years, including a 2020 incident requiring attention to paint and plaster conditions, past mold issues, and various building system failures.

More concerning are the multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2019-2021, totaling substantial fines, related to unpermitted construction work and occupancy beyond legal limits. These violations reference unauthorized modifications at the cellar level, including installation of partition walls, bathrooms, and kitchen areas. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the recurring nature of heat/hot water complaints and active housing violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that require continued monitoring. The building's Bedbug Reporting History shows a count of 0 infested units for the most recent filing period (2022-2023), indicating successful eradication efforts based on previous reports.
