1380 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The five-story residential building at 1380 White Plains Road in Parkchester, owned by Richard Cohen, was constructed in 1927 and contains 37 units. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues recently, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2025, including unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests (with violations issued), and multiple failures regarding paint/plaster conditions that inspectors could not access. Multiple heat and hot water complaints were recorded in April-May 2025, some of which remain unresolved.

The building has a history of compliance issues with safety systems, particularly evident in December 2024 violations for multiple apartments (5D, 5A, 4E) related to hot water supply, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. There have also been problems with building safety equipment, including fire escape access and heating system access in late 2024. Historical data shows persistent maintenance challenges, including a 2019 electrical wiring violation and ongoing issues with building systems.

The property has faced recurring issues with heat and hot water supply, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints across different years, including emergency complaints in 2025. Notably, the building's energy compliance history shows multiple failures to file required benchmarking reports between 2019-2023, with active violations regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores. Recent rodent inspections in 2023-2024 indicated activity requiring bait application. However, the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations in its annual reporting since 2021, suggesting effective pest management in this area.
