1330 Vreeland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 2-family residential building at 1330 Vreeland Avenue in Schuylerville, owned by Wilfred Cancel and constructed in 1970, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with three documented complaints in late 2022 (October 28 and November 29) requiring HPD intervention, though in each case, the issues were reportedly resolved before inspection.

The building also experienced multiple power outage incidents in October 2022, with three separate complaints filed within a single day, all of which were investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. More recently, in 2024, the Department of Buildings conducted inspections that revealed multiple serious code violations, including unauthorized construction work, occupation issues, and safety concerns. These violations include the creation of additional first-floor living space without proper permits, with associated environmental control board violations totaling $5,060 in penalties (though one was marked as resolved).

A Partial Vacate Order was served in 2024 related to occupancy issues, and there are concerns about obstructed emergency egress and fire safety violations involving missing fire stopping in the boiler room ceiling. The building's rodent inspections show a mixed record, with failures noted in 2019 and 2023, though the most recent inspection in October 2023 resulted in compliance. The property has undergone several Environmental Control Board investigations related to building maintenance and code compliance, with at least one violation still listed as active as of 2024.
