3317 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

This three-story residential building, located at 3317 Decatur Avenue in the Norwood neighborhood, was constructed in 2007 and contains three units under the ownership of Mohammed Ahad. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in Unit 3, which has been cited for multiple violations including mold issues in the bathroom ceiling (2023), defective kitchen cabinetry (2023), and intercom system problems (2018). While recent bedbug reports from late 2024 show no infestation cases, the building has a previous pattern of issues with bedbug report compliance violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

The property also faced significant Department of Buildings violations in 2021 related to unauthorized modifications, including an illegal parking space and a metal carport/canopy installation, though these violations were significantly fined with penalties of $6,250 each. Environmental control board violations remain active for the front yard's improper planting (replaced with concrete) and drainage system issues. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, with the most recent inspections showing passing results in August 2024, though there were instances of rat activity noted in June 2024 and July 2023.

The property's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most pressing concerns appearing to be related to building access security (self-closing doors), plumbing systems (drainage issues), and general maintenance compliance. The building's age and location in Norwood suggest it has experienced typical urban residential building challenges, with particular attention needed to address recurring maintenance issues. The most recent inspection records indicate some improvements, though the property still has active environmental control board violations that require attention.
