1340 Edwards Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

1340 Edwards Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Wanda Ithier. The property has exhibited several concerning maintenance patterns, particularly in early 2025, when multiple complaints resulted in HPD inspections and violations.

Between February 12 and February 26, 2025, there were issues reported and investigated regarding heat and hot water systems, window frames, flooring, and plumbing (specifically sink-related problems), with violations issued for the window frame and floor issues that the owner is required to address within specified timelines. Additional complaints regarding radiator maintenance and heating systems were also filed during this period, though some were resolved with indications of correction. The building's historical records show a chronic pattern of bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings (most recently in May 2024) indicate no infested units for the reporting period of November 2022 to October 2023.

A complaint regarding water retention and drainage issues was filed in January 2024, but no violations were found upon inspection in February 2024. The property underwent a rodent inspection in April 2019, which it passed. While many of the recent complaints have been resolved, attention should be paid to the outstanding violations from early 2025, particularly regarding the window frame and flooring issues for which HPD issued violations and provided the owner with correction timelines.
