1419 Needham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

1419 Needham Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, built in 1899 and currently owned by Neriya Borukhov. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being exterior facade problems that emerged in late 2021 and persisted through 2022-2023. Multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued in 2021-2022 regarding failure to maintain the building's exterior, including missing stucco/siding on the entire facade of exposure #1 and #4, which resulted in three separate penalties totaling $31,250.

These violations led to additional Department of Buildings (DOB) violations in 2022 for failing to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions, though one violation was dismissed in August 2023 after an engineer's report was submitted showing that violating conditions had been corrected. The building has also faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving four Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations between 2021 and 2023 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filing for 2023-2024 indicates no infestations had occurred during that period. Lead paint safety compliance was another concern in December 2022, with violations recorded for failure to provide required records and investigate lead-based paint hazards.

Recent complaints about building shaking/vibration were reported in October 2021 and determined to be without violation in August 2023. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of delayed compliance with various housing regulations, particularly regarding building exterior maintenance and reporting requirements. However, more recent records suggest some improvements, with the most recent bedbug report showing no infestation history and the dismissal of a major exterior violation in 2023.
