280 St Anns Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

The 5-story, 11-unit tenement building at 280 St. Ann's Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Aaron From and dating back to 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past four years. Most significantly, in July 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers, unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, and issues with flooring and an electric/gas range.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted to inspect these complaints, they were unable to gain access, leading to the closure of these cases with no resolution documented. In October 2020, the building underwent inspections that resulted in some violations, particularly concerning flooring issues and various general maintenance matters, though no violations were found for electrical lighting, door/window conditions, or cabinets. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the years, with no reported infestations or re-infestations since 2019, and recent filings in 2024-2025 confirming zero infested units.

Rodent inspections have shown consistent passing results from 2010 through 2023, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2012. The property has faced various maintenance challenges, including an open Class C violation from October 2020 regarding flooring issues in Apartment 5C, though most historical violations have been closed after appropriate certifications. The building's age and location suggest ongoing maintenance needs are likely, though the recent absence of major violations and pest issues indicates some improvement in building conditions over time.
