1415 Rowland Street, Bronx, NY 10461

1415 Rowland Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in Westchester Square and owned by Amelia Valenti. The building, constructed in 1927, has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests in 2023, including three incidents in August alone. A notable pattern of bedbug and roach infestations was documented, particularly affecting Apartment 2F in 2023, with a current open violation citing cockroach infestation as of September 2023.

The property has also faced maintenance challenges, including unsafe conditions in 2022 with emergency complaints about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various safety-related violations in 2021 concerning door/window issues and heating systems. Recent inspections and violations reveal ongoing maintenance needs, including an assessment in late 2023 noting inadequate lighting in the west fire passageway and defective marble treads in the vestibule. The building's history includes notable infrequent but concerning events such as a complete lack of heating/hot water complaint in January 2021, though inspectors could not gain access.

While the building has had multiple pest-related violations and emergency complaints, recent bedbug reports from 2025 show "0" units affected, suggesting some improvement in this regard. The property has maintained active compliance with various permits, with multiple electrical and plumbing permits issued between 2018-2020, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements. The building's record shows a mix of resolved violations and open issues, primarily focused on pest control, safety systems, and general maintenance, with higher concentration of complaints during certain periods suggesting potential recurring patterns.
