424 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The three-story, three-unit building at 424 Leland Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Osman Ali and constructed in 2008, has recently experienced numerous maintenance issues primarily affecting Apartment 1 on the first floor. In October 2024, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently closed, including reports of mold, various paint and plaster problems (affecting radiators, ceilings, doors/frames, and windows/frames), flooring issues, and pest infestations (mice and roaches).

While some of these complaints were marked as emergencies and required inspections, HPD was unable to complete their inspections for several cases. The building has active Class A open violations as of September 2024, specifically relating to water leaks, pest infestations, and various repair needs including bathroom issues and radiator maintenance. Historical data shows ongoing pest management challenges, with the most recent bedbug report from December 2023 showing no infestations in the past year.

Rodent inspections between 2012-2013 show a pattern of compliance failures followed by a pass in August 2013, indicating some improvement in pest management practices. The building's relatively recent construction appears to be experiencing typical wear and maintenance challenges, though the concentration of recent complaints and violations suggests significant ongoing maintenance needs, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment. The property has undergone various repairs and inspections over the years, with some violations remaining open as of the most recent inspections.
