1409 Metropolitan Oval, Bronx

High open housing-code backlog and vertical transit friction mark this massive Parkchester condo tax parcel.

Massive Parkchester South condo parcel operating at extreme scale, where deferred maintenance and open code items require careful unit-level diligence before buying. Three things to know:

Deferred maintenance shows up as a heavy open violation count. The parcel carries 282 open housing-code violations, including 76 class C (immediately hazardous), 164 class B, and 42 class A items. Recent filings detail active roach infestations, 160-degree scalding hot water, water trapped under bathtub sleeves, and leaking supply lines. In a condo setup, unresolved open items represent collective board liability that can drag on common reserves.

Indoor air quality and food-service venting create air-bleed friction. Building complaints include 3 air-quality issues and 4 food-establishment reports over the past year. In large complex layouts, commercial kitchen venting and shared riser shafts can pull cooking odors, smoke, and industrial exhaust directly into residential hallways or lower-floor apartments.

Elevators see continuous heavy traffic and service disruptions. Residents logged 41 elevator complaints directly against this parcel over the last year, with recent calls flagging single-device outages that left lines without alternate service. In high-density towers, elevator service interruptions quickly become an unavoidable daily bottleneck.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 123 driveway blockage calls within three blocks last year, 111 specifying full loss of access
• Recent resale transfers across the condo declaration traded between $200,000 and $350,000
