1701 Purdy Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The 8-story, 221-unit residential building at 1701 Purdy Street in Parkchester, owned by PPC Purdy LLC, was constructed in 2021 and has experienced several notable events throughout its early history. Most concerning was a sewage odor reported in April 2023 that required intervention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building experienced multiple construction-related complaints during 2022, including issues with suspended scaffolds, site conditions endangering workers, and an egress problem, though inspections typically found no violations warranting penalties. While there were two violations issued in September 2024 regarding failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspections, these were dismissed by November 2024. The building's bedbug monitoring reports indicate a clean record, with no infestations reported in the annual filings for both 2023-2024 and 2022-2023.

Throughout its operational history, the building has shown responsiveness to most issues, with the Department of Buildings' inspections generally finding no violations warranting action. The construction phase appeared particularly active in 2022, with multiple complaints filed regarding various safety concerns, though most were resolved without penalty. The most recent concerns primarily relate to administrative compliance (the external low pressure inspection filings), which were resolved through dismissal rather than fines or penalties.
