1459 Arnow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The building at 1459 Arnow Avenue in Pelham Gardens, owned by Winston Nugent, is a 2-story, 4-unit converted Class A dwelling built in 1931. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident from late 2020 through early 2021, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2020 and March 2021.

Several of these complaints resulted in the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being unable to gain access to inspect the conditions. Other significant issues during this period included a malfunctioning electrical system with no lighting reported in December 2020 and the presence of mold, both of which were filed as emergency complaints but required multiple attempts for inspection access. The building has also had a documented pest issue in September 2020, though this was resolved according to HPD records.

More recently, the building's bedbug reports from 2020 to present show no current infestations, with the most recent reports (2024) indicating no infested units, though a previous report from 2023 noted 4 units had been treated. A rodent inspection conducted in March 2022 resulted in a pass, suggesting improved pest management in recent years. It's worth noting that the building's emergency complaint activity significantly decreased after early 2021, with no major heating, electrical, or mold complaints reported in the past two years, indicating potential improvements in building maintenance and systems.
