419 Calhoun Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

The two-story, three-unit building at 419 Calhoun Avenue in Throgs Neck, owned by Dianand Lildharrie, presents a mixed maintenance history since its 1915 construction. Most notably, in late 2024, serious concerns emerged regarding unauthorized conversions, with active Environmental Control Board violations citing improper occupancy (operating as four units instead of three) and unpermitted plumbing work on the first floor, resulting in potential safety and code compliance issues.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018 and 2022, with multiple tenant complaints about heat/hot water issues and electrical problems including power outages and lighting failures, though most complaints were closed without violations being found or because inspectors couldn't gain access. While recent bedbug management appears effective, with zero current infestations reported and all units certified as eradicated, the property has shown persistent rodent issues, with failed inspections in 2023 and initial rodent activity noted in 2022. Compliance efforts have been documented through annual bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, though not all historical violations are resolved.

A cluster of heating and hot water complaints in October 2018 suggests system inadequacies during that period, while recent inspections indicate ongoing concerns about building access to maintenance systems and infrastructure. The building's electrical system has also experienced documented issues, with multiple complaints about lighting and power problems around the same timeframe. The most recent bedbug report (July 2024) indicates proper filing procedures have been followed, showing some level of adherence to housing maintenance requirements, though this does not diminish the significance of the recent illegal conversion violations or the building's historically inconsistent maintenance record.
