1870 Pelham Parkway South, Bronx, NY 10461

The 57-unit, 5-story residential building at 1870 Pelham Parkway South in Pelham Bay, owned by Moujan Vahdat, has experienced persistent heating and maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water complaints from both individual apartments and the entire building, with the most recent incident occurring in May 2025 and multiple complaints throughout late 2024 and early 2025.

In addition to these thermal system challenges, several apartments have reported various maintenance issues including door problems (Apt 2A in 2025), electrical fixtures (Apt 4A), plaster damage (Apt 1K), and carbon monoxide detector concerns (Apt 1K) between 2023-2025. The building's mechanical systems have also faced scrutiny, with Department of Buildings violations related to boiler inspections remaining active as of September 2024. Environmental concerns have been documented, including a mold violation in Apt 2N (2023) and various maintenance violations throughout the building.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the most recent inspection periods. Recent rodent inspections (2024) have shown passing results, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2019. While many violations and complaints have been resolved through proper channels, the recurring nature of heat-related issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems.
