White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The 8-unit, 5-story residential building at White Plains Road in Parkchester, owned by Efrat Ziegel and completed in 2019, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since its construction. Most notably, in February 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding water leaks, mold, door issues, electrical problems, and a refrigerator malfunction, all of which were closed within a few days of reporting. The building has been subject to three years of bedbug report violations (2022-2024), which remain open as of the latest records.

Recent minor issues include a September 2024 complaint about missing signage, which was resolved within five days. During the construction phase from 2019-2020, the building faced several regulatory challenges, including multiple Stop Work Orders related to permit compliance and construction safety issues, all of which were fully rescinded. The building was also cited for various Environmental Control Board violations, primarily relating to construction safety and compliance deficiencies, with associated penalties that were subsequently resolved.

While rodent inspections between 2012 and 2022 show generally passing results, there were two failures recorded in 2016 and 2017, though the most recent inspection in 2022 passed. The Department of Buildings records indicate multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2021 for new building and related work, suggesting ongoing monitoring and compliance efforts. In summary, while the building has generally met basic safety and compliance requirements, there have been recurring issues particularly related to water damage, mold, and bedbug reporting. The construction phase was marked by several regulatory challenges that were ultimately resolved, and recent maintenance issues have been addressed through the appropriate channels.
