1649 Edison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461
1649 Edison Avenue is a 21-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Sander Cotaj. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent months, with the most pressing being an open complaint from March 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, and multiple indoor air quality complaints involving chemical vapors, gases, or odors in 2025. The building has had persistent heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November 2024 and January 2025, including a significant incident on January 31, 2025, when inspectors were unable to access affected units.
The property has also faced challenges with smoking and vaping violations in 2025, though inspections did not find violations in some cases. The building has a history of maintenance and safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations. In late 2024, violations were documented regarding various maintenance issues, including a broken window pane, defective fire retardant materials, and problems with the roof resulting in leaks.
The Department of Buildings issued findings in 2024 regarding building stability and exterior maintenance, noting issues with masonry facades, though these were later resolved. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in March 2025), there have been multiple complaints related to rodent conditions earlier in 2025. On a positive note, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2024 shows no documented infestations, with zero units reported as infested in the latest filings.
