1003 East 217th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-story, three-unit building at 1003 East 217th Street, owned by Arman Kohan, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past five years, with four emergency complaints in 2023 alone (April and October), and multiple similar complaints dating back to 2020. The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in early 2023, including housing violations for inadequate heating in apartment 2R, though many of these violations appear to have been resolved or certified as corrected.

The property has also faced other maintenance issues, including a water leak in January 2022 (emergency) that was addressed, and electrical lighting problems in December 2020 that was investigated but found to have no violations. The building's recent history shows relatively successful pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years (2023-2024) according to the mandatory bedbug reporting, though there were four eradicated units reported in 2021 and 2020.

Rodent inspections show a mix of compliance and failure results between 2011 and 2022, with the most recent inspection in February 2022 passing. The building has experienced multiple access issues during inspections, particularly regarding heat and hot water complaints, where inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify conditions, a pattern observed in 2023 and other years, suggesting some difficulties in coordinating inspections with residents.
