2498 Bathgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2498 Bathgate Avenue in Belmont, owned by Safet Mahmudosky, has experienced recurring pest and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in April 2023, two complaints regarding pests were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found.

The building has a documented history of pest problems, particularly in 2022, when multiple complaints about pests were filed between January and February of that year, with at least one resulting in violations related to rodent infestations in both Apartment 1 and Apartment 2R. Safety concerns were also evident in 2022, with violations issued regarding smoke detectors in Apartment 1 and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were later certified as corrected.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, most recently in April 2025, and while many inspections have passed, there were instances of rat activity noted in both April 2024 and June 2021. The property appears to have maintained good bedbug management practices, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024. Various housing maintenance code violations have been recorded and addressed, including issues with self-closing doors, plaster surfaces, and radiator covers in Apartment 2R, all of which were certified as corrected by March 2022.
