1799 Mansion Street, Bronx, NY 10460

1799 Mansion Street is a 2-family, 2-story residential building located in Parkchester, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Lokeshwor Sooklall. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024 when complaints were filed regarding both carbon monoxide and smoke detector problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

Throughout 2023-2024, the building has faced various challenges including a heat and hot water complaint that was responded to but not fully verified during a December 2022 inspection, and a window frame issue in March 2024 that was inspected without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent concerns during 2022-2023, particularly in Apartment 1, which has live violations related to insect infestations and safety equipment. Records from December 2022 show multiple open violations including rodent infestations (specifically mice and cockroaches), safety equipment issues (missing carbon monoxide detector), and various maintenance needs such as door replacement and repairs to heating systems, walls, and bathroom fixtures.

Earlier years show more varied issues including a power outage in December 2022, refrigerator problems in 2020, and multiple sanitary condition complaints in early 2023. While the property has passed several rodent inspections between 2012 and 2018, the 2022-2023 violations suggest challenges with pest control have persisted. The building's age and history show a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency maintenance needs, with more recent years indicating particular attention is needed to fire safety systems and heating infrastructure.
