1524 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1524 Leland Avenue is a 5-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Ansel Duvivier. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint occurring in October 2023 affecting the entire building, though tenants reported restoration of services. Similar heating problems were documented in 2021 (twice) and 2019, indicating an ongoing maintenance challenge.

The property has faced various maintenance issues, particularly in 2018-2019, including pest infestations (with violations issued in September 2018), sewage problems, a slow water leak, and multiple other maintenance concerns. A significant violation in 2022 involved carbon monoxide detector issues and other safety concerns in apartment 1C, including defective floor tiles and smoke detector problems, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with all reports showing zero infested units.

Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since at least 2010, suggesting effective pest management in recent years. The most recent bedbug report (December 2024) and rodent inspection (2022) indicate current lack of serious infestation issues, though the recurring heating problems and historical maintenance challenges suggest ongoing attention to building systems and infrastructure may be required. The building has maintained an active record of responding to and resolving complaints, with most issues being addressed through HPD interventions, though some recurring issues suggest they may not be fully resolved between inspections.
