523 East 148th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The three-story building at 523 East 148th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Youssouph Kamagate, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between March and April 2024. During this period, there were multiple complaints and violations related to doors and plumbing, including two instances of toilet problems, multiple door-related issues (including door frames and window panes), and one heat/hot water complaint that was investigated and corrected.

As of August 2024, the building has several open violations including the need for proper window guards in Apartment 2, broken door repairs required in Apartment 2, and multiple safety-related posting requirements that remain unaddressed, such as carbon monoxide detector requirements and inspection certificate postings. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods (2021-2025), and consistent passing results in rodent inspections since 2020, though there was one rat activity finding in 2017.

The property has maintained its basic structural and housing standards, as evidenced by multiple inspections finding no violations, though the recent pattern of plumbing and door issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (built in 2005) and relatively small size (3 units) indicate it is a modern construction by NYC standards, but the recent maintenance issues have raised some concerns about upkeep and resident comfort.
