1453 Rowland Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1453 Rowland Street in Westchester Square, owned by Robert Ciardiello, was constructed in 2007 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past several years. Most significantly, there were multiple heat and hot water outages reported in 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building in March and April, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Additionally, there was an electrical power outage in April 2022 that required investigation but resulted in no violations.

Earlier maintenance issues included plumbing problems with a toilet and door concerns in December 2020, both of which were addressed successfully. The building's violation history shows some administrative oversights in 2022, including issues with posting required notices regarding the heating system keys and building registration number, though these were certified as corrected by March 2022. More recently, the property has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2021 through 2024.

All six recent bedbug reports indicate zero infested units, and the building passed a rodent inspection in February 2019. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024, covering the period November 2023 to October 2024, continues to show no infestation issues. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, and while there were two citations from the HPD in 2022 regarding missing signs in the first-story public hall, these were resolved and closed promptly.
