1552 Parker Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The 8-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1552 Parker Street in Westchester Square, owned by Muhammed Hossain and constructed in 2003, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues throughout its recent history. Most notably, in June 2025, multiple complaints were filed and investigated by HPD, resulting in violations for flooring issues, unsanitary conditions including pests, heating problems, and water leaks.

Earlier this year, there were several plumbing and heating-related complaints, including issues with water supply and bathroom facilities. The building has several active violations from a November 2024 inspection, primarily affecting Apartment 3A, including problems with water leaks, pest infestations (mice and roaches), heating system access, and self-closing door mechanisms. The property has a concerning history of illegal conversion-related complaints, with the most recent one filed in June 2025 remaining active.

Previous inspections revealed various building code violations, particularly in 2018, related to unauthorized modifications to the cellar level and occupancy issues, though these were subsequently resolved. While rodent inspections in 2019 and 2023 passed, there were failures noted in late 2013. Notably, there were no reported bedbug infestations during the 2017-2018 period, and the building's current condition as of 2025 shows multiple unresolved maintenance issues requiring attention.
