1517 Plymouth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

1517 Plymouth Avenue is a two-family residential property located in Schuylerville, built in 1930 and currently owned by Christopher Blaiotta. The two-story building has experienced several significant compliance and safety issues, particularly during late 2018, when multiple complaints and violations were documented regarding illegal conversions and non-code compliant conditions. Investigations in November 2018 revealed unauthorized construction in the cellar, including full-height partition walls creating what appeared to be a Class "A" apartment with bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen facilities, along with indications of improper additional living space.

The building also faced serious safety concerns with a boiler room being used for storage purposes, containing hanging clothing and various items that created potential hazards. These violations led to penalties totaling $3,125, though records show these were eventually resolved, with a vacate order being fully rescinded in March 2020. In response to these violations, a permit was eventually issued on December 31, 2019, for work to be performed under job number 220723108.

A rodent inspection conducted in October 2019 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting some improvement in building conditions compared to the previous violations. It's important to note that while the building had multiple violations in late 2018, there have been no recorded complaints or building violations since March 2020, indicating a potential period of compliance. The building's official classification remains as a two-family dwelling, though prior unauthorized modifications to the cellar space raised concerns about the actual configuration during the period of the violations.
