1539 Rosedale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-unit, two-story building at 1539 Rosedale Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Leo Green, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2017. Most notably, there are multiple ongoing violations that require attention, including two open violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, and three open Class C violations from 2022 in Apartment 3 related to lead-based paint hazards that require correction under NYC regulations.

The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2017 and 2022 consistently finding rat activity, though some baiting efforts were recorded in 2017 and 2018. During July 2022, the building experienced a cluster of maintenance complaints, primarily related to plumbing issues, with multiple reports of problems with sinks, bathtubs, and leaky faucets in Apartment 3.

Other reported issues during this period included problems with the refrigerator, the electrical system (no lighting), and pest infestations, though many of these complaints could not be inspected due to lack of access. Several violations resulting from inspections in 2022 remain unresolved, including a leaky bathtub faucet, leaky sink faucets, and a defective refrigerator gasket in Apartment 3, as well as electrical wiring concerns at the building entrance. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with building systems and persistent pest problems, particularly regarding rodents and, more recently, bedbugs.
