1772 Hammersley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1772 Hammersley Avenue in Baychester, owned by Komal Aslam, was constructed in 1990 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The most significant recent event occurred in March 2024, when the Department of Buildings found an illegal conversion of the second-floor dining room into a fourth bedroom, resulting in a $1,250 fine for work done without proper permits.

Multiple health and safety concerns have been documented, including a pest infestation issue in March 2024 that led to violations being issued, and recurring window guard compliance issues in Apartment 2 that remain pending resolution as of October 2024. The building has also undergone inspections revealing various maintenance needs, such as a broken kitchen tile and defective light fixture, all of which were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in any units since 2021.

Recent housing maintenance code violations (as of October 2024) include a need for proper notice of carbon monoxide detector requirements and a window guard installation requirement in Apartment 2. Inspection records show the property has been responsive to most maintenance issues, with many violations being certified as corrected, though some remain open as of the latest data. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with regular safety requirements, such as posting gas leak procedures and maintaining an up-to-date bedbug reporting record, though the illegal conversion issue represents a significant code compliance concern that was only addressed through violation enforcement.
