1523 Rosedale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-unit, 2-story property at 1523 Rosedale Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Joseph Janvier and built in 1901, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water problems reported between 2023 and 2025, including emergencies in late 2024 affecting individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also faced plumbing challenges, with complaints about water leaks and sink issues in late 2024 that HPD inspectors were unable to access for verification.

More recent concerns include a ceiling paint/plaster issue in June 2025 that also resulted in an inspection failure due to lack of access. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing infrastructure challenges, with multiple complaints about flooring issues in 2022 and electrical wiring concerns in May 2025. Inspection records indicate an open Class A violation regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, and in 2021, four separate violations were recorded for mold conditions in Apartment 1, along with water leak and plaster issues in the bathroom.

The property has experienced some pest management challenges, with documented rat activity in 2016-2018, though it passed compliance inspections in 2022. A Department of Buildings permit for plumbing work was issued in January 2019. While many complaints have been resolved, the pattern of recurring heating, plumbing, and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with the building's infrastructure and systems.
