428 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The three-unit, three-story building at 428 Leland Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Osmani Ali, was constructed in 2008 and has experienced several maintenance issues over its history. The most significant recent incident occurred in December 2022, involving a heat and hot water outage that was resolved within four days.

In late 2021, there were multiple unresolved complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, plumbing issues with the bathtub/shower, and problems with the electric/gas range. Prior to this, in September 2020, the building faced various maintenance challenges including water leaks, roofing issues, and problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, though not all resulted in violations. The building currently has several open violations from October 2021 that require attention, including issues with pest infestations (mice and roaches) and multiple safety concerns in the third-story apartment, such as defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, inadequate gas supply to the range, and cabinet door repairs needed in the kitchen.

Two bedbug reports were filed for the years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, with no infested units or re-infestations reported in the most recent filing period. The property has undergone regular inspections, with the most recent showing no violations regarding a zoning complaint from November 2023. While some complaints have been resolved, particularly regarding heating issues and regular maintenance checks, the persistence of certain violations from 2021 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in the building.
