2282 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, two-family house at 2282 Arthur Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Shahram Mobasser, was constructed in 2007 and has experienced several notable incidents since construction. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a reported rat sighting at the property which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found during their inspection.

The building faced a significant cluster of issues in March 2019, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received multiple complaints about various maintenance problems. These included reports of mold (classified as an unsanitary condition), and multiple incidents of water leaks, door frame issues, electrical problems, and appliance concerns related to an electric/gas range. While HPD was able to inspect the mold complaint and found no violations, they were unable to gain access to the property for inspections related to the other reported issues, leading to those complaints being closed without resolution.

In addition to these complaints, there was a Department of Buildings investigation in August 2024 regarding an alleged illegal conversion at the property, though an inspection in October 2024 found no violations at the time of the check. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance and access issues in 2019, with multiple complaints spanning different systems (water, electrical, doors/windows, and appliances), though most of these issues appear to have been either addressed or not confirmed during the inspections. The property has had relatively few documented issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns primarily relating to the rat sighting in 2025 and the illegal conversion complaint in 2024 which was dismissed upon inspection.
