1425 East Gun Hill Road, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, single-unit building at 1425 East Gun Hill Road in Baychester, owned by Thomas Behm, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2019. Most recently, in March 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint that was resolved following HPD verification. The building has a documented history of mold problems, with multiple complaints in 2019 and 2021, including a 2021 violation specifically citing approximately 6 square feet of mold in the bathroom of the 3rd-story apartment.

Other significant issues include a 2019 safety violation regarding a broken window guard, and various heating and hot water complaints, including a 2019 incident where HPD was unable to access the apartment for inspection. The property has undergone three inspections for bedbug reporting between 2021 and 2024, with all showing zero infested units. Notable violations include multiple consecutive years (2022-2024) for failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules. The building's maintenance history also shows periodic problems with pests, electrical issues, and water-related problems, though many of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued.

In terms of building systems, there were violations issued in 2023 for failure to file the external low-pressure inspection for 2018 and 2020, which were subsequently dismissed. The building's only unit has shown consistent maintenance challenges over the years, with mold, heating, and safety issues being the most prominent concerns. Recent years (2023-2024) show some improvement in complaint frequency, though the property continues to require attention to compliance with inspection and reporting requirements. During inspections for rodent issues in 2022, the building passed, and there have been no documented recurrences of bedbug infestations since the initial reporting period began.
