1468 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 1468 Leland Avenue in the Parkchester neighborhood, owned by Indera Singh, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding pest problems. Most notably, in mid-2024, the building faced multiple violations related to pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 1R, with issues including vermin, waterbugs, roaches, and centipedes/silverfish documented between June and July 2024. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued both Class A and Class B violations, though these were subsequently certified as corrected by September 2024.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with multiple heat and hot water complaints filed through 2020-2023, including an emergency complaint for the entire building in December 2023. Additionally, there were various maintenance issues in 2021, including a heavy water leak and door problems, along with at least one heating complaint in December 2020. The building's pest control history shows regular monitoring, with the most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 resulting in a "Passed" status, following a July 2024 initial inspection that recorded rat activity.

Historical rodent inspections from 2017-2022 show a pattern of rodent activity, though more recent inspections indicate improved conditions. The property has maintained a clean bedbug report for the past four reporting periods (2020-2023), with no infested units reported. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in 2018, but records indicate no access was gained during inspection. The building is a New Law Tenement constructed in 1924, and while recent years have shown improved compliance with pest control measures, the property has had recurring maintenance issues that required attention from multiple city agencies.
