989 Ogden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 14-unit, 4-story building at 989 Ogden Avenue in Highbridge, owned by Wajeeha Naseem and constructed in 2016, has experienced a range of maintenance issues over recent years, most significantly in 2024-2025. Recent complaints and violations have centered around unsanitary conditions, including multiple reports of mold and pest issues in March 2025, though HPD inspections were unable to be completed. There have been recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, and issues with electrical systems including no lighting complaints in late 2024 and early 2025.

The building has also faced structural concerns, with a blocked emergency exit door violation noted in November 2023, resulting in a significant penalty, and reports of building shaking or vibrating in late 2023. The property has a documented history of water-related issues, as evidenced by multiple housing maintenance code violations and complaints regarding leaks and water damage in various locations including public halls and individual apartments. Between December 2024 and early 2025, the building experienced various maintenance challenges including problems with doors/windows, electrical systems, and heating/hot water issues, many of which required multiple tenant complaints to achieve resolution.

Importantly, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections throughout the years, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing compliance. Bedbug reports have shown no infestation cases since 2019, with all reported units being free of infestation. While the building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and prompt reporting of issues, the frequency and variety of recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times.
