1543 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460
The three-story, three-unit building at 1543 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Steven Westreich, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2024-2025. The property, built in 1910 and classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" building, currently has an open complaint regarding wall paint/plaster work as of May 2025. There have been recurring pest control challenges, with multiple HPD complaints and violations for unsanitary conditions and pests between 2024 and 2025, including ongoing rodent issues as evidenced by rat activity findings in 2024 and 2025 inspections.
The building has also faced significant maintenance concerns including electrical and plumbing problems, with HPD documenting various issues from power outages to plumbing deficiencies in basins/sinks and bathtubs/showers. Several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from a December 2024 inspection remain, including electrical alterations requiring legalization (220-volt outlet installations) in both apartments 2 and 3, concerns about water closet connections, and an infestation of roaches in apartment 3. Previous inspections in 2024-2025 revealed multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access to conduct assessments, and there are recent emergency complaints recorded in June 2025 related to plumbing and electrical systems.
While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent years (2021-2024), the frequency of rodent activity and the number of open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention. Since 2012, the building's records indicate generally passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 revealing rat activity. Historical complaints show a pattern of access issues for inspectors in 2021-2022, and while some violations have been closed through corrections (such as the replacement of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2), many current issues are still awaiting resolution as of 2025.
