1524 Jarvis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-family house at 1524 Jarvis Avenue in Schuylerville, owned by Zhongsheng Lin, has a relatively recent construction date of 2006. However, the building experienced a cluster of significant maintenance issues in April 2021 that required multiple interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). During this period, there were documented problems with the heat and hot water systems, ventilation system, cooking gas supply, window frames, and mold conditions.

Of particular concern were several safety-related issues, including problems with the sprinkler system, window guards, and carbon monoxide detectors. While HPD conducted inspections of most reported issues and found no violations in some cases, notably regarding safety systems, there were instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to apartments for examination, particularly concerning heat and hot water complaints. All complaints from this April 2021 cluster were ultimately closed by May 2021.

Despite these notable incidents from 2021, there have been no recorded complaints or incidents in the subsequent years (2022-2023), suggesting that the immediate issues may have been addressed, though it's worth noting that some complaints were initially reported as "emergency" situations. The building's relatively recent construction date of 2006 and its classification as a two-family house provides some context, as newer buildings typically incorporate more modern safety and building systems. However, the concentration of maintenance issues in April 2021, particularly involving multiple safety systems and infrastructure components, should be noted as a significant event in the building's history.
