1470 St Lawrence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-story, three-unit building at 1470 St. Lawrence Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Elda Salce, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in April 2025. During this period, multiple complaints were received and subsequently inspected by HPD, including problems with paint/plaster on walls, door/window issues (both doors and window frames), pest control concerns, fire escape safety, and plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower.

Of these, violations were issued for the wall and window frame issues, while the other complaints did not result in violations. These issues were officially documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, all of which were closed between April and June 2025. The building's recent maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, though with recent improvements in specific areas.

Notably, the property has maintained a record of filing annual bedbug reports from 2022 to 2025, consistently reporting zero infested units and showing effective eradication of any previous infestations. Rodent inspections have generally been successful, with all inspections from 2017 to 2022 passing, except for one failure in 2013. The building has received three Class A violations between 2021 and 2023 related to bedbug report filing requirements, though these were closed following compliance. While the recent April 2025 complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with windows, doors, and general upkeep, the prompt inspection responses and classification of most issues as non-emergency provide some context around the severity of these problems.
