438 East 148th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The three-story, 3-unit residential building at 438 East 148th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Alfousseyni Kone, was constructed in 2007 and has a mixed record of maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which could impact resident comfort and safety.

A comprehensive inspection in September 2023 revealed multiple violations, mainly concerning maintenance and safety standards, though these were subsequently closed by December 2023. These included defective self-closing doors at the street entrance (Class C), fire retardant material issues in various locations (including the first-story public hall and cellar ceiling), and various repairs needed in the second-story Apartment 2, including faucet leaks and cabinet damage.

The building's rodent inspection history shows generally good results, with passed inspections in 2023, 2022, 2020, 2017, 2012, 2011, and 2010, though there was one failure in 2015 for unspecified reasons. The property has undergone various maintenance and safety improvements since its 2007 construction, including more recent work on the public hall walls and ceilings, though some repairs required specific material compliance. The multiple violations from 2023 indicate a period of required maintenance work, though the resolution of these issues suggests they have been addressed, with the exception of the most recent bedbug report violation from 2024.
