The three-story, two-family house at 918 Summit Avenue in Highbridge, owned by Mike Ma, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment (Apartment 3). As of March 2023, there were multiple open violations including a leaking roof in the private hallway, and defects in the plastered surfaces and paint on both the kitchen's east wall and hallway ceiling. This apartment has a documented history of maintenance problems dating back to 2021, when violations included a mouse infestation and various kitchen repairs needed, all of which were closed between late 2021 and mid-2022. The building's record also shows recurring pest control challenges, with multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2025, including some failed inspections and bait applications.

What's in the 918 Summit Avenue report

Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 918 Summit Avenue covered by Good Cause Eviction?
