1529 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The five-story, 19-unit tenement building at 1529 White Plains Road in Parkchester, owned by David Maritnez, has experienced several significant regulatory events in recent years, particularly regarding lead paint and bedbug reporting requirements. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from December 2022 related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements affecting apartments 1C, 2A, 3A, 3C, and 4C, as well as open violations from October 2022 concerning failure to provide required lead paint records in apartment 2D.

The building has also accrued recent violations regarding bedbug reporting, with active violations from 2023-2024 related to failure to file annual reports under HPD Rule, though subsequent filings from 2021-2024 indicate no reported infestations during those periods. Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 concerning failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection.

The building's recent history shows consistent attention to pest management, with rodent inspections passing in 2022, 2018, and 2016, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in July 2017. While the building maintains regular bedbug reporting compliance with no recorded infestations in recent years, the persistence of lead paint violations suggests ongoing regulatory challenges. The property has experienced various maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, with the most recent documented complaint regarding door/frame paint/plaster issues from late 2021, which was ultimately closed without violations being issued.
