1960 Ellis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-family residential building at 1960 Ellis Avenue in Unionport, currently owned by Mohammed Shaid, was constructed in 1930 and has undergone conversion to a Class A building designation. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in 2021, when there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While these complaints were closed, inspections were often hindered by inability to access units.

The building has also faced challenges with rodent sightings, with inspections in April and June 2021 showing access issues for health department inspectors, though subsequent inspections passed. Between 2021 and 2024, there were recurring violations noted regarding the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though recent records from July 2024 show zero reported infestations, indicating compliance with eradication efforts. The property underwent some significant structural and usage changes in 2020, when violations were recorded for unauthorized electrical work and modifications to the garage space, including conversion from a two-car to a one-car accessory garage.

These issues resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations, with penalties totaling $2,500. A subsequent complaint regarding failure to certify correction of hazardous violations was ultimately dismissed. More recent inspection records suggest improved conditions, with all rodent inspections since 2010 passing, including one in August 2021 following the earlier complaints. The building's permit history shows activity, with a permit issued in November 2021, though details of the work performed under this permit are not specified in the provided data.
