1551 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The three-story apartment building at 1551 White Plains Road in Parkchester, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Ting Zeng, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2023. The property has documented complaints regarding heat and hot water issues in January 2023, which were addressed within three days.

During an August 2023 inspection, multiple violations were identified in Apartment 1, including mold in the bathroom, a rodent infestation, water leakage in the hallway, and various maintenance issues such as defective plastered surfaces and a non-functional flushing apparatus, most of which have since been closed. Apartment B also received attention for water leakage problems in the hallway, while a building-wide violation regarding a defective entrance door was noted. More recently, in April 2024, the building received a violation notice related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though the most recent bedbug report from May 2024 shows no infestation cases in any units.

The property has maintained a generally good track record regarding rodent inspections, passing all six inspections conducted between 2012 and 2022, with the most recent rodent complaint being filed in August 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with moisture control and maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 1, though many violations have been addressed and closed through subsequent inspections and repairs. The bedbug reporting requirements have been properly filed for the past two years, indicating compliance with HPD regulations.
