1413 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1413 Leland Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Parkchester neighborhood, built in 1924 and currently owned by Chandradat Motie. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in August 2018, when multiple violations were documented for unsanitary conditions including mold, pest infestations, and problems with doors/windows.

These issues prompted emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations, particularly affecting apartment 1R, which faced multiple violations for roach and mice infestations, a water leak in the bathroom ceiling, and defective smoke detector issues. More recent history shows ongoing compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. The building has also faced some structural and occupancy issues, with Environmental Control Board violations in 2020 concerning illegal occupancy in the cellar area, which was reportedly modified to create additional living spaces without proper permits.

While the building has generally passed rodent inspections since 2015, there was one failed inspection noted in early 2015. The most recent significant violation on record is from 2024, again related to bedbug reporting requirements, with a similar citation issued in 2023. The property's maintenance history indicates periodic attention to basic building systems, including a notable inspection result showing "Passed" status in rodent control inspections through 2022, suggesting some improvements in this particular area.
