2719 Kingsland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 2719 Kingsland Avenue in Pelham Gardens, owned by Edward Koester, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most significantly, there are currently multiple open violations from January 2023, including concerns with the building's south wall masonry, various plaster and paint deficiencies in Apartment 1, excessive storage problems, a clogged bathroom wash basin, and notably, missing carbon monoxide detecting devices in Apartment 1.

Additional ongoing violations relate to the boiler room requiring decluttering and maintenance, including a missing pressure relief drain pipe from the hot water tank. A prior set of violations from March 2021 regarding door repairs and wall surface issues were resolved by June 2021. The building's history also shows some concerning patterns, including a 2022 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage that was investigated but resulted in no violations.

Two Environmental Control Board violations from late 2019 remain active, related to work that reportedly did not conform to approved construction documents, with associated penalties. Though a rodent inspection in February 2023 passed, there were previous failures in late 2010. The property has undergone some permitted work, as indicated by a permit issued in July 2019 for construction-related activities, though its full relation to the current violations is not explicitly clear.
