602 St Marys Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The property at 602 St Marys Street in Mott Haven is a 2-family, 3-story house constructed in 2000 and currently owned by Elvis Joseph. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, most notably during 2019 when there were multiple complaints related to heating and electrical problems, including three heat/hot water complaints in November 2019 (both apartment-specific and building-wide), two electrical issues (power outage and no lighting) in June 2019, and a plumbing issue involving a toilet problem.

These incidents resulted in several violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment's electrical service and various safety concerns. More recent developments include a general complaint about janitorial/superintendent issues in October 2023, which was investigated but did not result in any violations.

However, there are several active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2021 related to failure to comply with a commissioner's order from December 2019 regarding occupancy and to file necessary correction certificates, with significant penalties totaling $100,000. The building's certificate of occupancy issues were specifically noted in a December 2019 violation indicating unauthorized conversion to three B-units with numbered bedroom doors and shared facilities on the second and third floors, along with a violation regarding an unapproved locking device. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 to 2023, indicating no significant pest issues, and the most recent inspection in June 2023 was also passed.
