1430 Needham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family home at 1430 Needham Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Ashana Singh and constructed in 1930, has recently experienced several maintenance issues that warrant attention. As of May 2025, there are two open HPD service requests: one regarding an open door frame issue reported in May 2025 and another concerning a heavy water leak reported in the same month. The building's history shows a cluster of complaints in April 2024 involving unsanitary conditions (with at least one pest-related violation in Apartment 1), electrical problems, plumbing concerns with steam pipes, and door/window issues, though most of these were closed following inspections.

The property has also had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations that remain open, including a Class C violation for roach infestation in Apartment 1 and a Class B violation for a defective kitchen window spring balance. Notably, there seems to be some inconsistency in bedbug reporting compliance, with violations issued regarding late reporting in 2024, though previous years (2021-2023) show no reported infestations, and the most recent filing from November 2023 indicates zero infested units during the 2021-2022 period. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with door/window conditions, as evidenced by both the most recent open complaint and past violations.

While many issues have been resolved through HPD inspections, the presence of open violations as of 2025, particularly regarding pest control and maintenance of fixtures, indicates some ongoing maintenance challenges. The property passed a rodent inspection in November 2018, and between 2021 and 2023, there were no reported bedbug infestations, suggesting periods of improved pest management. However, the most recent bedbug report from late 2023 indicates some discrepancy in reporting compliance, with a violation issued for failure to file the annual report in 2024, despite previous years showing proper compliance.
