241 E Mosholu Parkway N, Bronx, NY 10467

The five-story, 49-unit building at 241 E Mosholu Parkway N in Norwood, owned by Sammy Diaz and built in 1923, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in April 2025. During this period, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in several violations related to mold, window frame problems, and issues with doors and door frames. The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 1G (identified in October 2024 violations), which has open violations for roach infestation, floor repairs, and various bathroom maintenance issues, including problems with the wash/basin wasteline.

Apartment 3J (inspected in November 2024) has violations related to bathroom repairs needed for the marble saddle, ceramic floor tiles, and ceiling/wall paint requirements. Rat activity has been consistently documented in the building, with inspections showing evidence of rodent presence from late 2022 through 2024. While there have been regular bait applications to address the issue, the pattern suggests an ongoing rodent control challenge. Recent violations from 2023 include failure to display energy efficiency ratings and missing external low-pressure inspection filings.

However, there has been no bedbug infestation reported in the building since 2020, with all previous filing periods showing zero infested or re-infested units. The building's maintenance history shows a mixture of addressed and ongoing issues, with HPD inspections in April 2025 resulting in several emergency-level complaints, particularly concerning water leaks and paint/plaster problems. While some violations from 2024 have been closed, including those from apartment 1G related to bathroom and kitchen repairs, many others remain open, indicating that not all issues have been resolved within the required timeframe. The property has also faced periodic issues with various building systems, including plumbing and electrical problems, though recent HPD inspections have generally found conditions not violating housing laws, even if repairs were still required.
