626 Underhill Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The two-family house at 626 Underhill Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Kaniz Faruque, has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. The most pressing concerns were documented during a comprehensive inspection on September 6, 2023, which resulted in multiple open violations in Apartment 1, including unsafe electrical wiring conditions, electrical outlet problems, and extensive water-related issues affecting ceilings and walls.

The apartment is currently facing multiple challenges, including active infestations of mice and roaches, water leaks causing damp spots, defective ceiling tiles, issues with bathtub caulking, and problems with paint and plaster surfaces. These violations are categorized as Class B, indicating they must be corrected but do not require immediate vacate orders. The building's maintenance history shows some earlier concerns from 2018 regarding unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage areas, though no violations were issued in those cases.

A heat/hot water complaint was reported in September 2023 but was closed without violations. The property has undergone various inspections over the years, with a rodent inspection in October 2010 resulting in a passing grade. The current cluster of violations from September 2023 represents the most significant concentration of maintenance issues in recent history and includes both emergency and non-emergency categories of complaints, primarily affecting the first floor apartment.
