1847 Victor Street, Bronx, NY 10462

1847 Victor Street is a three-story, three-unit building located in the Van Nest neighborhood, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Lelawatie Sookchan. The property has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly in the period from mid-2022 to 2024. During August-September 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding safety and habitability concerns, including broken/missing window guards, smoke detector issues, plumbing problems, and rodent infestations, though inspections conducted during this period found no violations.

More troubling, as of April 2024, there are three open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, and multiple open violations from July 2022 affecting the second apartment, including issues with window guards, smoke detectors, pest control, and various maintenance concerns such as peeling paint, flooring, and plaster problems. The building has a documented history of rodent problems, with inspection reports in early 2023 confirming rat activity on the property. In addition to the aforementioned violations, there are unresolved safety concerns including missing carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2.

The property has been the subject of multiple emergency and non-emergency housing maintenance code complaints, particularly in July 2022 when issues with paint, plaster, and flooring were reported. While many of these complaints have been officially closed, the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 suggests ongoing regulatory compliance issues. The building's history indicates persistent challenges with basic safety systems (such as smoke detectors and window guards), pest control, and general maintenance, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment.
