1536 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460
1536 Leland Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Parkchester, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Gavaskar Achaibar. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with a notable pattern of appliance-related complaints, including three reports of electric/gas range problems between 2020 and 2020, and instances of mold (September 2020) and water leaks (January 2020). More concerning, the building has open violations from the Housing Maintenance Code regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports (2021-2024) and a significant Class B violation from September 2020 regarding the unauthorized conversion of the cellar space into living quarters, complete with bathroom and kitchen facilities, which includes additional violations for improper plumbing connections.
These violations resulted in an ECB fine of $6,250, though this appears to have been resolved according to subsequent records. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2012-2022, all of which have passed, indicating good pest control management. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues, many of the complaints have been investigated and closed without violations being found, including multiple HPD inspections in 2020 that resulted in no violations being issued.
Recent years have shown a pattern of open violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, suggesting ongoing compliance issues with basic housing regulations. The illegal cellar conversion and associated plumbing violations from 2020 represent the most significant structural and safety concerns on record. There was also a complaint regarding failure to comply with a vacate order in September 2020, though this was ultimately unsubstantiated based on Department records.
