1991 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit building at 1991 Arthur Avenue in Tremont, owned by Jessica Lin and constructed in 2006, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in 2025, there were two door-related complaints (March and May), one of which resulted in HPD being unable to access the property for inspection. A significant heat/hot water violation was recorded in February 2024, specifically affecting first-floor apartment 1.

The building has had persistent pest control challenges, with violations documented in 2021-2022 regarding mice infestation in apartment 1, and multiple sanitation-related complaints between 2020-2022. Periodic rodent inspections have shown varying results, with "Rat Activity" noted in March 2023 and August 2022, though recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 have passed. The property has undergone regular monitoring for bedbug infestations, with the most recent report in May 2025 showing no infested units between November 2023 and October 2024.

Various maintenance violations have been documented over the years, including issues with doors/windows (both emergency and non-emergency), wall surfaces, and heating systems. While some violations have been addressed and closed, such as those related to building security and public hall maintenance in 2022, others remain open, including a 2021 violation regarding defective plastered surfaces in apartment 1. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with communication during inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to the property.
