259 E Mosholu Parkway N, Bronx, NY 10467

259 East Mosholu Parkway North is a three-story, five-unit building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Lateef Obaydi. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past three years, with eight documented complaints about heat and hot water problems between late 2022 and late 2023, all classified as emergencies. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to these complaints, records indicate that while heat and hot water were restored in several instances, the recurring nature of these issues suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge.

The building has also faced rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2024 showing rat activity, though a compliance inspection in August 2024 indicated passing results. The property has several other documented maintenance issues, including plumbing problems, electrical outages, and sanitation concerns. Notable violations identified during a June 2022 inspection of Apartment G1 included mold conditions in the bathroom ceiling, various electrical and plumbing repairs needed, and interior surface maintenance requirements.

While some of these violations were subsequently closed, the building has recently received a new open violation as of April 2024 regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report. The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2022 indicated no infested or re-infested units. The building's inspection history suggests active management responses to maintenance issues, though the frequency of heating system complaints and rodent activity points to ongoing challenges with building systems and pest control.
