1404 Doris Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The 2-family house at 1404 Doris Street in Westchester Square, owned by Tularam Parasram, is a 3-story building constructed in 1960. The most significant and recent issues occurred in March-April 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including reports of pests and mold, and a heat/hot water problem.

The investigation by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) revealed several violations in Apartment 1, including an active mouse infestation, visible mold (approximately 6 square feet) on the north wall in one room, and multiple repair needs including defective plastered surfaces and paint requirements on both walls and ceilings in various areas, a defective wood door frame, and the need to address broken plaster surfaces. While initial rodent inspections conducted in February 2019 showed a "Passed" result, the subsequent violations suggest containment issues had developed by March-April 2019. The HPD's follow-up inspections on April 3, 2019, resulted in both open and closed violations, with some conditions still requiring attention.

The building experienced limited access issues during the heat/hot water inspection, which was subsequently closed. It's noteworthy that while the building had inspections and violations documented in 2019, no further complaints or violations have been recorded in the system through October 2023, suggesting either improved conditions or a lack of reported problems. The property remains classified as a 2-family house, with 2 units currently registered.
