1801 Amethyst Street, Bronx, NY 10462
The three-story, 9-unit residential building at 1801 Amethyst Street in Van Nest, owned by Ron Cohen and completed in 2017, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident in multiple complaints between 2022 and 2025, including a recent emergency report in January 2025. The building currently faces several significant challenges, as evidenced by a June 2024 inspection revealing multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations across several apartments, including roach infestations in apartments C, D, E, and G, as well as plumbing issues in apartment F involving leaky defective bathtub faucets. Historical records show a pattern of maintenance issues, including electrical problems (no lighting) in October 2022, door-related issues in 2019, and multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage in 2018, though many of these were closed without violations being issued.
Recent external inspections have raised concerns about the building's compliance with housing regulations, with open violations as of June 2024 related to unauthorized use as single room occupancy in apartments A, C, and E, though some violations from earlier periods have been closed. The building's history shows a moderate level of pest control challenges, with rodent activity documented during inspections in 2022 and 2023, though bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 indicate no infestations. Three complaints related to illegal conversions and storefront issues were filed in 2024 and 2025, though details on their resolution status remain limited.
The property has experienced several instances requiring HPD intervention, with the most recent issues primarily centering around heating systems, though some complaints were closed without any violations being found during inspections. The building's overall maintenance record suggests a need for ongoing attention to basic systems and pest control, though the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 indicates some areas requiring particular attention. The consistent pattern of heating/water issues and recent pest violations are notable concerns in the building's record, though historical comparisons show no bedbug or additional pest problems in the most recent report period.
