1868 Hutchinson Rvr Py E, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 1868 Hutchinson River Parkway East in Pelham Bay, owned by Theodora Paleatsos, has experienced several notable incidents regarding building maintenance and resident comfort over the past few years. Most recently, in March 2024, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While some of these complaints were closed following inspections, there was at least one instance where inspectors were unable to gain access to apartments. These heating issues followed a pattern, as similar complaints were filed in March 2024, and there were also bedbug reporting violations noted in 2021-2023, though subsequent bedbug reports filed in 2023-2025 indicate no infestations or re-infestations occurred during those periods. The building's history shows some regulatory scrutiny, with HPD issuing bedbug reporting violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though the most recent 2024-2025 report shows all units free from infestation.

Prior to these recent issues, an initial rodent inspection conducted in February 2019 resulted in a passing grade. While the building has faced heating system challenges in 2024, it's worth noting that several heating complaints were resolved without violations being issued, suggesting the issues may have been temporary rather than systemic. The property, constructed in 1920, has shown an ability to address various code violations over time, as evidenced by the closure of multiple housing maintenance code complaints and the regular filing of bedbug reports demonstrating compliance with HPD requirements.
