1209 Ogden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 4-unit building at 1209 Ogden Avenue in the Highbridge neighborhood, constructed in 2009, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past several years, with the most recent complaint occurring in January 2025. This pattern of heating system problems includes three separate incidents in April 2023, which were categorized as emergencies, and two emergencies in January 2021.

Additionally, there are currently five open Housing Maintenance Code violations from August 2022 in Apartment D, including issues with rodent infestation (both mice and roaches), defective flooring, bathroom cabinet problems, and a broken entrance door. The building's owner, Kobina Arhin, has maintained regular pest control inspections, and records show consistent passing results for rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025, indicating effective management of this issue.

Importantly, the building has had no documented bedbug infestations since 2018-2019, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting records showing zero infested units in the past seven reporting periods (with the most recent reports in 2024 and 2025). While the building has experienced multiple heat and hot water outages, records indicate that these systems were typically restored promptly, as confirmed by tenant reports during inspections. The property has also successfully passed multiple rodent inspections over the years, suggesting effective pest management practices, though the presence of open violations from 2022 warrants attention to ensure proper resolution.
