1761 Bronxdale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1761 Bronxdale Avenue in Van Nest, owned by Sylvia Delija, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between January and April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water, with at least seven separate incidents reported through 311 and HPD, including complaints for both individual apartments and the entire building.

During this period, there were also plumbing issues reported for toilets and radiators in February 2025, which HPD inspectors were unable to access the premises to investigate. The building has outstanding Class A violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which remain open as of 2025. An active ECB violation from 2018 regarding unpermitted work for an illuminated awning and sign installation (related to MX Deli) remains on record with a $500 penalty.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple cases in 2025 where HPD was unable to gain access to verify complaints. While there was one documented rodent inspection in January 2023 that passed, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with timely complaint resolution and compliance with reporting requirements. An earlier complaint from September 2022 regarding work without a permit was investigated but found no violation at the time of inspection.
