1851 Victor Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The 3-unit residential building at 1851 Victor Street in Van Nest, owned by Magda Cambrelen, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2021, with the most pressing concerns revolving around heating and hot water systems. The property, which was converted from a class C to a class A building type, has documented nine heat/hot water-related complaints between 2021 and 2025, including two recent incidents in January 2025 (apartment-specific) and March 2023 (entire building).

During 2023, significant violations were recorded, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment, including problems with heating (non-compliance with adequate heat supply), pest infestations (both roaches and mice), and multiple safety system deficiencies (smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector issues). The building has also been cited for an open violation regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements that remains unresolved as of April 2024. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and safety compliance.

In addition to the heating and pest management issues, there are documented concerns about lighting (March 2022), building access (multiple inspection access issues), and problems with self-closing doors in public and common areas. While some individual complaints have been addressed, as evidenced by their closure status, others remain open, indicating persistent maintenance challenges. A rodent inspection conducted in January 2023 passed, suggesting some progress in pest management compared to earlier violations.
