1545 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The 16-unit, 3-story building at 1545 White Plains Road in Parkchester, owned by Chris Lukacs and constructed in 1963, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in January 2025 affecting the entire building. Between 2022-2025, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, including several during November 2022 that were verified as corrected.

In October 2024, the building received violations for an inoperable intercom system and multiple unsanitary conditions, including evidence of mold, though HPD concluded some inspections could not be completed due to access issues. Unit 2B has been the focus of several housing maintenance code violations between 2024-2025, including issues with pests (mice and roaches), mold, wall conditions, and interior finishes, though many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with regular rodent inspections between 2012 and 2022, though several initial inspections in 2015 and 2018 resulted in failures for other reasons.

There was one significant violation related to boiler inspection in 2019, which was later dismissed. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with zero reported infestations or eradications in the past seven years (2018-2024). While the building has experienced persistent heating system challenges and some maintenance issues, the property management has typically addressed HPD violations, as evidenced by multiple cases being certified as corrected, though some open violations from 2024 remain active.
