1303 Balcom Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

1303 Balcom Avenue is a two-family, two-story residential building located in Schuylerville, built in 1920 and currently owned by Daniel Roman. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with particular concerns regarding pest infestations. Between 2020 and 2022, multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though inspectors were often unable to gain access to the premises for verification.

A significant heat and hot water issue affecting the entire building was reported and resolved in late 2020. The building's maintenance history includes a gutter drainage issue documented in August 2022 that resulted in an environmental violation, though this was later resolved, and three failed inspection attempts between 2020-2021 regarding electrical wiring and an alleged illegal conversion. The most recent complaint, from July 2024, involved an unsanitary animal situation that passed inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The property has undergone two rodent inspections in the last six years (2019 and 2024), both of which passed. Building permits from December 2020 show some activity related to electrical work, though specific details of the work completed are not provided in the available data. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, including multiple housing code violations, the responses to most complaints suggest that issues are typically addressed, even if access for inspection was sometimes problematic.
