601 Pelham Parkway North, Bronx, NY 10467

601 Pelham Parkway North is a 6-story, 116-unit residential building constructed in 1937, currently owned by Carlos Orduz. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and March 2025, though most were resolved promptly upon inspection. Of particular concern is a significant fire incident that occurred on March 4, 2024, which affected the roof area and caused damage to multiple floors, including apartments 512 and 612, resulting in fire, water, and smoke damage throughout the building.

Emergency work orders were subsequently issued to address the damage. The building's maintenance record shows several open violations as of April 2024, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and pest infestations in apartment 617, as well as self-closing door problems in apartment 104 and the compactor closet on the 6th floor. The property has undergone various inspections and repairs over the years, with a relatively clean record for bedbug infestations, showing no reported cases from 2020 through 2024.

While there have been instances of rat activity in recent years, particularly noted between 2017 and 2018, subsequent inspections in 2019 showed passed results. The building's elevator system has been a recurring subject of complaints, with multiple reports filed in 2024 regarding device functionality and service availability, though inspections found no violations at the time. Current renovation or repair projects are not specifically documented in the available data, but the 2024 fire incident and resulting violations indicate that significant structural and safety repairs may be required.
