1321 Purdy Street, Bronx, NY 10462

1321 Purdy Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Parkchester, owned by Frank Haghi and constructed in 2004. The building has experienced recurring issues with pest control that appear to be an ongoing concern for the property. Most recently, in July 2024, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests that was closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to inability to gain access for inspection.

This follows a pattern of violations, as the building has received three separate Notices of Violation between 2021 and 2023 for failing to file required annual bedbug reports, specifically under (A) § HMC:FILE. However, recent bedbug reporting documentation from July 2025 shows zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the 2023-2024 period, indicating that while the building has had compliance issues in the past, the current bedbug situation appears to be under control. In addition to pest-related concerns, the building's history shows relatively few major issues.

A rodent inspection conducted in February 2012 passed, suggesting no significant rodent problems at that time. The property has maintained its basic safety standards, with no recent complaints or violations regarding major systems such as heating, plumbing, or electrical. The most pressing current concern appears to be the building's ongoing challenges with pest control and compliance with HPD reporting requirements, though it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug reports suggest improved conditions in this area. While the building's age (21 years as of 2025) is relatively young for New York City housing stock, it has experienced periodic lapses in compliance with housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding pest reporting requirements.
