1950 Ellis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1950 Ellis Avenue in Unionport, owned by Faruque Chowdhury and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable compliance issues over the past decade. Most concerning is the ongoing issue with bedbug report filings, with open violations documented annually from 2021 through April 2024, indicating continued non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
The building faced significant challenges between 2019 and 2021 related to occupancy and structural modifications, including multiple Environmental Control Board violations concerning failure to comply with a Commissioner's order regarding occupancy limits and certification requirements. These violations, though resolved, resulted in substantial penalties totaling over $15,000, including issues related to unauthorized garage modifications and occupancy beyond permitted limits.
Additional historical context includes a 2020 plumbing complaint (which could not be fully investigated due to access issues) and an illegal conversion complaint from late 2019 which was ultimately resolved through an Oath Violation. The property has maintained basic safety standards, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections in 2010 and 2013, and a 2024 DOB violation regarding failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous violation was ultimately dismissed in early 2024. While some violations have been resolved, the recurring bedbug reporting issues and the previous unauthorized occupancy concerns suggest ongoing compliance challenges within the property.
