1880 Guerlain Street, Bronx, NY 10462

1880 Guerlain Street is a three-story, seven-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Byung-chai Chun. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2025 and several documented incidents in late 2022 and early 2023, some classified as emergencies. A cluster of complaints in February 2023 revealed multiple maintenance concerns, including pest issues, mold, flooring problems, and window-related matters, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

The building has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the past four annual filings (2021-2024). The Department of Buildings has documented several significant events, including complaints of illegal conversion in 2018 and 2024 (though these were not substantiated during inspections), and a building stability concern in 2021 that resulted in violations. Notably, there were environmental violations recorded in 2018 regarding unauthorized changes to the sidewalk curb and the size of an accessory parking pad, though these were resolved without penalties.

The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and interventions over the past decade, including a rodent inspection in 2012 that passed. Recent housing maintenance code violations include a February 2023 citation regarding unauthorized encumbrances in the public hall, which was certified for correction in March 2023. While many complaints have been resolved, the recurring nature of heat and hot water issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's management has generally addressed complaints through HPD interventions, though there have been instances where access for inspection was not granted, particularly regarding pest and water leak complaints in late 2022.
