1404 Edwards Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 1404 Edwards Avenue in Schuylerville, owned by Lash Kocovic and constructed in 1932, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent complaint, from September 2024, involved an electrical/gas range appliance issue that was promptly resolved.

More concerning is the pattern of heating issues, with two separate heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building in 2022 (one in April and another in November), though both were resolved relatively quickly. The building has also faced various plumbing and sanitary challenges, with inspections in late 2021 noting problems with water supply, radiators, and multiple sanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2R). The property has been diligent in its bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases in its most recent filings from 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, with consistent documentation of eradicated and re-infested units.

The building has undergone multiple inspections related to violations, particularly focusing on apartment 2R, which has had ongoing issues with cabinet repairs, door functionality, roach infestation, and various sanitary concerns. While many of these violations were ultimately resolved, including several from 2021-2022 related to kitchen cabinets, door repairs, and plumbing fixtures, the pattern of heating system complaints and the 2021 sanitary issues suggest there have been persistent maintenance challenges. Recent years (2023-2025) show improved conditions, particularly with no recent bedbug or rodent problems since the inspections in 2020 and 2019, though the most recent heating system maintenance should be monitored.
