1945 Benedict Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462
The two-family residential building at 1945 Benedict Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Afroza Begum, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues dating back to 2020-2021. During this period, multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions, including sewage problems, water leaks, and pest infestations, though inspections in early 2021 were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.
The property has also faced significant regulatory scrutiny, with several Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in 2022 requiring the posting of safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures in common areas. Additionally, there were multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints between 2020-2025, including allegations of illegal work (though this was later determined to not warrant violation), and two active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from January 2020 related to unpermitted work on a two-car garage demolition and excessive debris maintenance issues, both with monetary penalties imposed. Most recently, the building underwent several inspections in 2025, including a construction enforcement inspection that was found to be compliant.
The property has maintained a positive record regarding bedbug and rodent infestations in recent years, with no reported cases in the past two bedbug reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024) and a passed rodent inspection in 2012. While many of the earlier violations have been closed, there are currently active violations related to the failure to certify corrections for immediately hazardous conditions, as noted in the September 2020 DOB violations. The building, constructed in 1901 and classified as a converted Class A multiple dwelling, shows a pattern of compliance efforts in recent years, particularly regarding safety notice postings and pest management, though some regulatory matters remain unresolved.
