2044 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, two-family house at 2044 Washington Avenue in Tremont, owned by Arsen Yakubov and built in 1899, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, in 2024, there were recurring electrical issues including power outages and lighting failures in September, and multiple water leak incidents in July. The property has also grappled with serious sanitation concerns, particularly in July 2024, when violations were documented for mold and pest infestations, affecting the first-floor apartment.

These conditions resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors and visible mold conditions, though most have been certified as corrected by September 2024. The building's infrastructure has continued to show vulnerabilities, with four separate water leak complaints recorded in 2024. The property has undergone various rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, revealing inconsistent results.

While the most recent inspections in June 2025 and December 2024 passed, there were periods of concern, particularly with rat activity noted in June 2024 and December 2023. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since at least 2020, with all recent reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. Additional maintenance issues were documented in July 2024, including problems with wall paint/plaster, though no violations were issued for these conditions. Historical data from 2022 shows sewer-related complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises during those inspections.
