1433 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 1433 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, currently owned by Sumintra Hanooman, has been in operation since 1924. The property has multiple ongoing housing maintenance code violations, with the most pressing concern being repeated violations from 2021 through 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD.

The building's safety compliance history reveals significant deficiencies in 2018, including the absence of smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1R, though these violations were subsequently resolved by June 2018. During the same inspection period in 2018, several other violations were noted including the need for proper gas leak emergency procedure notices, carbon monoxide device requirement notices, housing information guide availability notices (in both English and Spanish), and maintenance of light-colored ceiling paint in the second-story public hall - many of which remain unresolved as of October 2023. A complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in August 2018, though it was closed due to no access during inspection.

On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2012 through 2022, indicating effective pest control measures in that regard. While the building's age and history show typical maintenance issues, the pattern of repeated bedbug report violations over multiple years (2021-2024) suggests ongoing challenges with compliance to HPD regulations. The most recent inspections have focused primarily on administrative compliance issues rather than major structural or safety concerns, though the failure to maintain required notifications and reports is notable.
