1553 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-family house at 1553 Beach Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Alanvius Johnson, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 2004. Most recently, in January 2023, the building faced multiple non-emergency complaints involving plumbing issues with the bathtub/shower, window frame problems, and mold-related unsanitary conditions, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but did not result in any violations.

Prior to these issues, there were heating and hot water concerns documented in 2022 affecting the entire building, and in January 2019, there were two separate heating and hot water complaints from individual apartments that required HPD intervention, though all these issues were ultimately resolved. The building has maintained a generally good condition overall, as evidenced by consistent passing results on rodent inspections from 2016 through 2022.

However, there is a currently active complaint as of June 2025 regarding an "Illegal Conversion" at an unspecified location (10460), though this may not directly relate to the Beach Avenue property. It's worth noting that all complaints have been officially closed with various resolutions, including an emergency response in 2022 for the heating/hot water issue, which was verified as corrected through tenant confirmation. The property's documented history reflects typical urban maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to the periodic heating and plumbing systems.
