1817 Gleason Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1817 Gleason Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Soundview and constructed in 1901, currently owned by Muktadir Rohman. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in April 2019, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints concerning unsanitary conditions including mold, pest infestations, ventilation system problems, and window/frame painting issues. These complaints led to several violations, particularly affecting the 2nd-floor apartment, which was cited for missing or defective window guards, non-functioning self-closing doors, heating system maintenance issues, radiator painting requirements, and an active cockroach infestation that required abatement.

During the same period, the building was found to have violations related to safety notices, including requirements for carbon monoxide detector information, gas leak procedures, and bedbug reporting, all of which were subsequently resolved. More recent records from 2020 through 2025 show significant improvement in building conditions. The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations between 2020 and 2024, with regular bedbug reports indicating no affected units.

Rodent inspections from 2010 through 2017 consistently passed or resulted in only bait application, suggesting effective pest control measures. The most recent building history shows no major violations or complaints on record since the 2019 incidents, indicating improved maintenance and compliance with housing regulations. The last documented building-related issues were addressed through various inspections, including a 2021 bedbug reporting violation that was marked as closed, and there have been no new complaints or violations recorded in recent years, suggesting better overall building management and maintenance practices.
