1437 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 1437 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Jagdesh Persaud, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2021. Most recently, in early 2025, there were violations noted for flooring issues and bathtub/shower plumbing problems, both of which required corrections per HPD violations.

The building has faced multiple electrical system challenges, including wiring issues (March 2022), lighting problems (January 2022), and outlet/switch defects (June 2022), some of which resulted in violations. There were also heating and hot water complaints in January 2022, one affecting the entire building and another in a single apartment, though inspections couldn't verify the conditions in all cases. The building underwent significant maintenance activity in 2023-2024, with multiple violations issued regarding self-closing doors in apartments 3 and 4.

The property has maintained regular rodent inspection compliance since 2012, indicating no significant rodent issues, and both the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 bedbug reports show zero infested units. Past issues have included a range of maintenance concerns, such as pest problems (June 2022), mold (May 2022), and various repairs needed in apartment 3 including lighting fixtures, window panes, and door issues. The building's maintenance record suggests a pattern of recurring maintenance needs, though recent bedbug and rodent inspections indicate good management of these specific issues.
