1728 Garfield Street, Bronx, NY 10460

1728 Garfield Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in the Van Nest neighborhood, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Arjune R Beharry. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent problems emerging in March 2023, including violations related to wall and ceiling conditions, though these were properly addressed between March and April 2023. The property has a documented pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks (both slow and heavy flow) reported between 2021 and 2023.

A significant inspection in April 2023 revealed multiple open violations in apartment 2F, including defects in plastered surfaces, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance issues requiring attention. Additional concerns were identified in the building's common areas, including the public hall on the first story, where issues with ceiling and wall paint were noted. The building's history shows recurring maintenance challenges during 2022, particularly in February, when multiple complaints about doors/windows, water leaks, and heating systems were filed, though inspectors often faced access issues when attempting to address these problems.

An important inspection in April 2024 revealed an open violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement. While the building underwent some inspections related to illegal conversion and work without permits in 2020, no violations were substantiated at those times. Notably, a rodent inspection conducted in December 2022 resulted in a passing grade. Despite these various issues, it's worth noting that many of the violations and complaints have been addressed and closed, though some current violations remain open as of the latest inspection dates in 2023 and 2024.
