1536 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The 22-unit, 5-story building at 1536 White Plains Road in Parkchester, constructed in 1932 and currently owned by Adelci Santos, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple significant events, including the discovery of wall issues in May that resulted in violations, ongoing pavement problems since April, and a brief heat/hot water outage in April that was reportedly resolved quickly.

The building has faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings recorded from late 2024 through 2025, though recent inspections in July 2025 have shown compliance. The property has also experienced structural stability concerns, with complaints about building vibration in early 2025, though one inspection resulted in an inability to gain access. Safety violations in late 2024 included multiple issues with entrance door latches and self-closing doors, as well as missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartments 2E and 3C, respectively.

The building was cited for various maintenance issues in 2024, including plumbing problems and unsanitary conditions. While the building has had regular pest control efforts and no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (with the last recorded infestation in 2019), the ongoing maintenance violations and safety concerns, particularly regarding building access and security features, suggest continuing challenges with building management. Recent inspections have shown some improvement, with passed rat inspections in 2025 and the resolution of certain safety violations, though multiple open violations were still noted as of late 2024.
