1522 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1522 Beach Avenue is a 5-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Joan Razza. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints throughout 2025, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint still open as of May 2025. Other significant maintenance issues have emerged in 2025, including problems with plumbing (water supply and bathtub/shower), electrical outages, and a mold violation recorded in January.

The building underwent inspections in 2024 that identified multiple violations concentrated in Apartment 6, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks, ventilation issues, and problems with building systems such as the buzzer/intercom and window mechanisms. Although these violations were officially closed by October 2024, they indicate past maintenance challenges. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug and rodent control, with no documented infestations since 2018 and successful rodent inspections in recent years (2017-2022).

While a general ventilation system complaint was recorded in January 2025, an HPD inspection found no violations. The building's history shows some fluctuation in maintenance issues, with a notable concentration of complaints in 2025, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems, which appear to be an ongoing concern. A permit for work was issued in November 2020, though specific details about the scope of work are not provided in the available data.
