1344 Purdy Street, Bronx, NY 10462

This two-family residential building at 1344 Purdy Street in Parkchester, owned by Deen Khan, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water between 2019 and 2020, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, some of which affected the entire building. Notable incidents include a period of unsanitary conditions regarding garbage and recycling storage in late 2019, and separate issues with plumbing in the first-floor apartment's kitchen sink and bathroom wash basin that were documented and certified as resolved by December 2019. The building underwent several inspections and faced multiple complaints between late 2018 and 2019 regarding possible illegal conversion and after-hours work, with environmental violations issued in January 2019 related to unpermitted basement modifications and occupancy exceeding the legally approved number of families, resulting in a $2,500 fine.

The property appeared to have some infrastructure issues requiring attention, as evidenced by electrical problems reported in May 2019, though no violations were issued during subsequent inspections. The series of heat and hot water complaints suggest persistent concerns with building systems, despite some instances of conditions being restored prior to inspection. In 2019, there were also complaints about ventilation and indoor air quality.

While there were multiple complaints filed, there are records of inspections either being unable to gain access or resulting in no violations being found. The most recent documented service request related to heat/hot water dates back to November 2020, with no reported complaints in the past three years, though this does not necessarily confirm resolution of past issues. The building's permit history from 2019 shows proper channels being followed for required work, and an initial rodent inspection from 2012 passed successfully.
