2261 Bassford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2261 Bassford Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2003, currently owned by Arman Kohan. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent problem being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building reported in May 2025. This follows a pattern of heating system difficulties, including an apartment-specific outage in February 2021.

The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, with multiple pest-related complaints filed between 2020 and 2023, including two unsuccessful HPD inspections in September 2023. Infrastructure maintenance has been a concern, with violations recorded in December 2022 including defective self-closing doors and malfunctioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the first-floor apartment, though these were certified as corrected by February 2023. The property has a documented history of sanitation issues, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, with complaints filed in 2020.

A significant violation was recorded in April 2018 involving raw sewage in the cellar that required cleanup and disinfection. While the building exhibited periods of rodent activity between 2023 and 2025, recent inspections in May and July 2025 showed improvement, with the most recent rodent control inspection passing. The building's bedbug reporting history shows variable infestation rates, with three units affected in 2021 and 2022, though recent reports from 2023-2025 indicate no current issues. Additional infrastructure problems had been recorded in 2018, including a broken mailbox and safety concerns regarding window guards and roof access, all of which have since been addressed.
