1813 Radcliff Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The three-story, seven-unit apartment building at 1813 Radcliff Avenue in Morris Park, owned by John Kourtelis, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly regarding basic services and infrastructure. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2023 and 2024, with the most recent complaints in August 2024 being classified as emergencies. The building has also faced various plumbing and appliance issues, including water supply problems (2024), sewage concerns (2023), and issues with electrical appliances like ranges and refrigerators (2023).

A significant cluster of violations was documented in August 2024, primarily affecting apartment 1R, including issues with window repairs, faucet leaks, and door maintenance, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. June 2023 inspections revealed multiple housing maintenance code violations requiring attention to fire safety materials, gas leak procedures, and window repairs, particularly in common areas. The building's history shows periods of pest and rodent management challenges, with regular bedbug reporting between 2021-2025 indicating no infestations during that time.

Rodent inspections between 2013 and 2023 show generally good compliance, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2018 before the situation improved. Recent inspections from 2022 to 2023 have consistently passed, suggesting improved conditions. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance with zero reported cases or required eradication efforts in the most recent reporting periods from 2022 to 2025.
