1727 Zerega Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

1727 Zerega Avenue is a 7-unit, 3-story residential tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Milton Naula. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2023, with eight separate complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water affecting the entire building, particularly between February and April 2023. These complaints have generally been addressed and closed, with HPD verifying corrections.

The building has also faced multiple violations related to gas supply issues, both for cooking gas and heating systems, particularly affecting basement apartment 1B and second-floor apartment 2F during late 2022. Other notable violations include obstructed drop ladder access due to gas supply lines in 2023, and a failure to provide adequate heating and hot water in various apartments during winter 2022-2023. In 2023, the property has been the subject of multiple complaints regarding unauthorized construction work, with three separate work without permit complaints filed in April 2023, leading to active ECB violations for unpermitted steel structures and concrete work in the driveway area.

The building has also faced environmental control board violations related to stormwater drainage requirements. Recent rodent inspections in early 2023 resulted in failed compliance, indicating potential pest management concerns, though historical inspections from 2019 and earlier passed. The building's bedbug records from 2021 through 2023 show zero infestations or related issues, suggesting no significant history of this particular pest problem. While many of the building's recent violations and service requests have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of heating system complaints during 2023 is notable for a residential building of this age and type.
