1517 Purdy Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The 3-story, 2-family house at 1517 Purdy Street in Parkchester, owned by Shamima Rahman and constructed in 2007, has experienced notable maintenance challenges over the past year and a half. Most significantly, there was an emergency complaint filed in December 2022 regarding unsanitary sewage conditions, which remained unresolved through mid-2023.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to this complaint, they were unable to gain access to conduct the necessary inspections, leading to the case being closed in June 2023 with a notation that interested parties should file a new complaint if the issue persisted. This recent history of sewage-related complaints raises concerns about the building's maintenance and resident comfort, particularly given the failure to allow inspection access.

The building, which features two residential units and stands in the Parkchester neighborhood, was constructed relatively recently in 2007, setting it apart from many older structures in the area. The extended duration of the sewage complaint, from December 2022 through June 2023, during which no resolution was achieved, suggests potential challenges in building management responsiveness to maintenance issues.
