1557 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-family residence at 1557 Beach Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Ramon Gonzalez, was constructed in 2004 and has experienced several maintenance issues over its history. Most notably, in early 2022, the building faced two significant non-rodent related problems: a heavy water leak and flooring concerns, both of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While these incidents were classified as emergency and non-emergency respectively, no violations were issued in either case. The building also had a documented issue with an electric/gas range appliance in July 2019, though this was resolved within a week with no violations found.

On a positive note, the property has maintained a clean record with respect to rodent inspections, having passed all five inspections conducted between 2012 and 2022. These inspections were regular and included dates in 2012, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022, suggesting that the building has generally met basic sanitary requirements in this regard. While the recent water and flooring issues in 2022 represent the most significant concerns in recent years, the prompt response and resolution by HPD without any violations indicates that these issues may not have had a lasting impact on the building's habitability.
