1317 Plimpton Avenue, Bronx

A two-family Highbridge home with a thin building file sitting on an active surrounding block.

A two-family brick home from 1905 in Highbridge that sold in 2018 to individual owners. Housing-code compliance records for this building are unverified, but city call logs show only minor sanitation and parking notices against the address itself. Three things to know:

The house changed hands in 2018 after a short investor hold. The house traded for $805,000 in 2018 after an investor flip two years earlier. The small footprint means there is no heavy landlord overhead, shifting underwriting focus straight to plumbing and mechanical age.

Direct calls against the house focus on trash pickup and parking. Calls logged directly against the building over the past two years cover routine neighborhood friction: four missed trash pickups, three blocked hydrant complaints, and one street noise incident. There is no pattern of tenant-to-tenant friction on file.

Surrounding buildings see heavy infrastructure calls. Within three blocks, neighboring buildings log high volumes of maintenance calls, led by 270 plumbing complaints, 265 unsanitary condition reports (mostly pests and mold), and 228 paint and plaster filings over the last year. The surrounding block carries real operational wear even if this house stays out of it.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 144 illegal parking calls within three blocks over the last year, largely concentrated around driveways and hydrants.
• 99 street-level noise complaints recorded in the surrounding three-block radius over the last 12 months.
• 18 rodent complaints logged within three blocks in the past year.
