1406 Edwards Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

1406 Edwards Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Schuylerville, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Tom Bouklis. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in November 2024 representing an entire building emergency that could not be inspected due to lack of access. Similar heating problems were documented in March 2021 through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

These recurring utility issues may impact resident comfort and safety. The building has open violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though bedbug related concerns appeared to be resolved in the 2020-2021 reporting period showing zero infested units. Significant events include a 2022 complaint about unauthorized construction work, resulting in a violation for "Work Without a Permit – Occupied Multiple Dwelling" regarding stairway modifications and new doorway installations, though this Stop Work Order was fully rescinded.

The building's rodent inspection history shows some concern, with failures recorded in 2010 and 2019, though subsequent compliance inspections passed. While the property has had various maintenance issues requiring HPD attention, many complaints have been closed without inspection due to access problems. The consistent pattern of heating system complaints and the open bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing administrative and infrastructure maintenance challenges, though recent bedbug inspections indicate successful management of that specific issue.
