2480 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 2480 Arthur Avenue in Belmont, owned by Yitzhak Fried, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most significantly, Apartment 8 has been the focus of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in October 2023, including problems with mold, water leaks, and various repair needs. These violations, while classified as "B" (immediately hazardous) and "A" (less serious), were subsequently closed between November 2023 and early 2024, suggesting that some remedial work was undertaken.

The building also has active Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for multiple years, though these are administrative in nature rather than directly impacting resident safety. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with water leak complaints registered in both 2019 and 2023, though inspections in both cases found no violations. Additionally, there have been multiple 311 complaints regarding smoking violations, with three such incidents reported between September 2023 and February 2024.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations since 2019. The most recent rodent inspections show passing results in 2023 and 2024, though there was a rat activity report in 2022 and an initial inspection failure in 2021. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance needs, particularly in Apartment 8, but also demonstrates compliance with various health and safety inspections, including recent successful rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug issues.
