1743 Bussing Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

1743 Bussing Avenue is a two-family house located in Wakefield, built in 1927 and currently owned by Trevor Dalling. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues over recent months, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, with multiple complaints and violations centered around apartment 2D.

These include urgent health and safety concerns such as lead paint hazards, with several open violations citing the presence of peeling lead paint on various surfaces including window frames and door frames, particularly requiring attention in compliance with local lead hazard control requirements. The building also has ongoing maintenance challenges, including problems with heating and hot water systems, electrical issues (including lighting problems and outlet concerns), water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and pest infestations. The most recent inspection of the building's rodent conditions dates back to 2012, with mixed results during that period showing both compliance and non-compliance.

While the 311 service requests from January 2024 show multiple complaints being closed without violations, the nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Notably, several of the complaints in late 2023 and early 2024 could not be properly assessed due to lack of access to the affected apartments during HPD inspections. The building's history suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance, with more recent issues affecting basic services such as heat and water, as well as newer concerns related to lead paint safety.
