1923 Pilgrim Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-story, 1925 building at 1923 Pilgrim Avenue in Pelham Bay, currently owned by Anthony Ferrante, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly related to heating system reliability. The most notable incidents occurred between February 1 and March 2, 2022, when there were multiple emergency complaints (11 in total) regarding lack of heat and hot water, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducting multiple inspections.

While some complaints were found to be duplicates and some were closed after confirming heat and hot water had been restored, the frequency of these complaints indicates a concerning pattern. Additional maintenance issues were documented in early 2022, including problems with window guards and electrical lighting. The building has several active housing maintenance code violations as of 2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though there is documentation showing no bedbug infestations occurred during the 2020-2021 reporting period.

Previous violations from 2022 included mold issues in Apartment 3's bathroom walls, along with multiple safety-related violations that have since been corrected, such as requirements to post proper notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures in common areas. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2019 resulted in a pass. The building's documented history shows most issues have been addressed, though the recurring heating problems in early 2022 stand out as the most significant resident impact concern.
