2017 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 2-family house at 2017 Arthur Avenue in Tremont, owned by Orr Shalom, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly affecting its first-floor apartment. Most notably, in April 2023, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented, including issues with water leaks, mold, and damaged plaster surfaces in multiple rooms of Apartment 1.

These violations were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected between May and August 2023. More recently, in late 2023, the property has been facing rodent control issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity throughout 2024-2025, though bait has been applied consistently in response to these findings. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of both resolved and ongoing issues.

While the property has not reported any bedbug infestations in recent annual filings (2022-2024), the building's overall condition has required regular attention from various city agencies. In particular, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from November 2023 regarding an unauthorized horizontal extension and front yard zoning violation, with monetary penalties imposed. The building's rodent control efforts appear to be ongoing, with inspections showing persistent rat activity, though some progress is indicated by bait application records.
