2037B Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 2037B Westchester Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Marc Kurman, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 2005. Most notably, Unit B8 has been the subject of multiple complaints and violations between 2024-2025, including active violations for mold, a mice infestation, and multiple issues with water leaks, flooring problems, and ceiling conditions. The building has also faced persistent building code violations regarding self-closing doors in common areas and fire safety concerns, with open violations as of late 2024.

Despite multiple housing maintenance code violations being filed in 2025, including issues with garbage storage and pests, HPD inspections have often been unable to gain access for verification. Recent incidents from 2024-2025 suggest significant ongoing maintenance challenges, including violations for slow water leaks, pest infestations, and flooring issues. The building's 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints indicate patterns of unsanitary conditions and insufficient building maintenance.

While there have been no reported bedbug issues since 2019 and the most recent rodent inspection in 2012 showed a passing result, the frequency and nature of recent complaints raise concerns about general building upkeep. The Department of Buildings has recorded two complaints regarding construction work in 2023-2024, though neither resulted in violations. An active DOB violation remains regarding failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection as of April 2023.
