598 East 164th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story residential building at 598 East 164th Street in Longwood, owned by Mike Mahadavi, was constructed in 2007 and contains three units. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent significant event being a heat and hot water complaint in January 2022, which was subsequently resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development within two days.

The building has consistently failed to comply with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, receiving violations for this issue in 2021, 2022, and 2023; however, recent filings from 2024 indicate no infested units or eradicated units during those reporting periods. Apartment 3, located on the third floor, has been the focus of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in 2018, which remain open. These violations include problems with plastered surfaces and paint, door self-closing mechanisms, door hardware, pest infestation (specifically roaches), and various maintenance issues with a sink cabinet and other features.

In terms of plumbing issues, there was a documented problem with leaky bathtub faucets in apartment 3FL in 2018, which was resolved. The building has maintained generally good rodent management, with inspections showing compliance and passing results from 2010 through 2022, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in late 2013. A complaint regarding an allegedly illegal curb cut was investigated in April 2022, but no violations were found at that time.
