1820 Edison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The six-story, 10-unit residential building at 1820 Edison Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Paulin Durgaj and completed in 2020, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints involving toilets, bathtubs/showers, and sinks, as well as issues with mold, wall conditions, and a more recent plumbing problem that HPD was unable to inspect despite being reported through 311.

The building has a documented history of mold-related violations, with inspections in 2024 (January, March, and September) resulting in violations requiring correction. Notably, in September 2024, significant violations were identified in apartment 2A, including mold conditions greater than 10 square feet, water leak issues, and problems with carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations had been certified as corrected by October 2024. The building's maintenance record shows attention to various systems and compliance requirements, with multiple permits issued for construction work and systems installation, including plumbing and general construction permits between July and September 2020.

The property has maintained a notable record of bedbug-free status since 2021, with the most recent filing in July 2025 showing no infestation or eradication cases. Historical complaints from the Department of Buildings (2020-2021) were resolved with no violations found at the time of inspection, though there was one construction-related violation issued in September 2020 regarding work conducted contrary to emergency executive orders, resulting in a $5,000 penalty. The building's systems, including rodent control, were inspected in 2019 and passed.
